Question

which is a characteristic of a solution?
○ its particles scatter light.
○ its particles are evenly distributed.
○ its particles settle out.
○ it has large suspended particles.

Explanation:

• A solution is a homogeneous mixture. In a solution, the solute particles are evenly distributed throughout the solvent.
• Particles scattering light is a characteristic of colloids (Tyndall effect), not solutions.
• Particles settling out and having large suspended particles are characteristics of suspensions, not solutions.

Answer:

B. Its particles are evenly distributed.
