In science class, Jonathan added a small amount of sand to a beaker of water. He stirred it vigorously so that all the sand swirled around in the water. Jonathan then claimed to his classmates that he had made a solution. However, his teacher told Jonathan that he was mistaken. Why was the teacher correct?
Jonathan made a compound, not a mixture
A solid substance cannot dissolve in water to form a solution
The sand will eventually settle to the bottom and will not dissolve in the water
A chemical reaction did not take place, so a solution was not formed
