-l

1. Chemistry A mixture in which particles of one or more substances (the solute) are distributed uniformly throughout another substance (the solvent), so that the mixture is homogeneous at the molecular or ionic level. The particles in a solution are smaller than those in either a colloid or a suspension. Compare colloid suspension

2. Mathematics A value or values which, when substituted for a variable in an equation, make the equation true. For example, the solutions to the equation x² = 4 are 2 and -2.
