Solution - a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent)

A solution is a mixture (solvent + solute) of 2 or more elements, for example chocolate milk.

A solvent is the base of the solution which dissovles a solute, for example milk.

A solute is what is dossolved by the solvent, for example chocolate powder.
