  • 3. 

    A special mixture formed when one or more materials dissolves in another.

    • Solution

    • Molecule

    • Atom

    • Vulcanize

    Correct Answer
    A. Solution
    Explanation
    A solution is a special mixture that occurs when one or more materials dissolve in another. In a solution, the dissolved substances are evenly distributed throughout the solvent, resulting in a homogeneous mixture. Solutions can be formed when a solute (the substance being dissolved) interacts with a solvent (the substance in which the solute dissolves). This interaction can involve the breaking and reforming of chemical bonds, resulting in the solute particles becoming dispersed and evenly distributed throughout the solvent.
