When compounds form, the atoms that bonded get a stable arrangement of electrons.
Compounds form because their atoms get a more stable arrangement than they had in the reactants.
A stable arrangement is a <em>complete octet</em> of eight electrons in the valence shell

The two components of a solution are solvent and solute.
A solution is a homogenous mixture, stable, and the particles are very small.
