Here's a breakdown:
* Solid: The substance that dissolves, often referred to as the solute.
* Liquid: The substance that the solid dissolves into, often referred to as the solvent.
The resulting mixture is a homogeneous solution, meaning the solute is evenly distributed throughout the solvent.
Example:
* Salt (solid) dissolved in water (liquid) = Saltwater solution
