Question

Which is a characteristic of a solution

Answer 1

 A solution is somthing desolved in somthing else. By desolved i mean it needs to have some particals ionized a solid you place in water that dissosiates (ions split apart from each other) makes a solution a good solution you can make in your kitchen is a salt-water solution, Put some regular table salt in a glass and stir it and you will notice the salt "disapears" what happens is the sodium ions and the chloride Ions seperate and 'hide' between water molocules. 

In basic terms only some substances can make a solutions others are refered to as insoluble as they can't be seperated in water or another solvent. In actuality however all ionic compounds (compounds that are composed of ions) are at least somewhat soluble, but don't dissociate well at all in some solvents. 

Hope that helps
