solution state

The solution state refers to the condition where substances are dissolved in a liquid, creating a uniform mixture called a solution. In this state, the particles of the dissolved substance are evenly distributed throughout the liquid, so the composition is consistent throughout. For example, when salt dissolves in water, it reaches a solution state where you can't easily see the individual salt particles. This state is important in chemistry because it affects how substances react, move, and behave, and it’s different from solids, liquids, or gases where particles are more distinct or separated.
