substances are not evenly mixed.
How are some mixtures different from solutions?

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which two
or more substances are evenly mixed, but not
bonded together.

A solution is another name for a homogeneous
mixture and is made of two parts—a solvent and one
or more solutes.

The solvent is the substance that is present in the
largest amount, and the solutes dissolve, or break
apart, and mix evenly in the solvent.
