Here's a breakdown:
* Solution: A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
* Solvent: The substance that dissolves the solute, usually present in a larger amount.
* Solute: The substance that gets dissolved in the solvent, usually present in a smaller amount.
Think of it like making a cup of tea:
* Water: The solvent
* Tea leaves: The solute
The water is present in a much larger amount than the tea leaves, and it's the water that dissolves the tea leaves to create the solution.
