Solutions are a type of mixture.
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of particles so small that they cannot be seen and cannot be filtered out.
Definition: Homogeneous mixture looks the same.
I grabbed these from my science notes, hope this helps.
When you immerse an ionic compound<span> in </span>water<span>, the ions are attracted to the </span>water <span>molecules, each of which carries a polar charge. If the attraction between the ions and the </span>water <span>molecules </span>is<span> great enough to break the bonds holding the ions together, the compound </span>dissolves<span>. </span>
A) Fe⁰ ----> Fe⁺³ +3e⁻ oxidation | *2
b) <u>Cu⁺² + 2e⁻ -----> Cu⁰ reduction |*3</u>
c) 2Fe⁰ +3Cu⁺² -----> 2Fe⁺³ + 2Cu⁰
