Step-by-step explanation:

When a substance dissolves in a liquid it forms a solution. The substance which dissolves in the liquid is termed as solute while the liquid in which the substance dissolves is termed as a solvent. In a solution, a solute is always present in less amount while the solvent is present in comparatively large amount.

For example: A sugar solution has sucrose as solute and water as solvent.

Solutions are of two types : (1) Polar & (2) Non polar.

(1) Polar solutions: These are the solutions which have a polar solvent like water, ammonia etc.

(2) Non polar solutions: These are the solutions which have a non polar solvent like benzene, ether etc.
