Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that retain their individual properties, while solutions are homogeneous mixtures where one substance (the solute) is dissolved in another (the solvent).
Mixtures can be separated by physical means, such as filtration or distillation, while solutions typically require chemical processes for separation.
The concentration of a solution can vary, affecting properties such as boiling point and freezing point, whereas mixtures have varying compositions.
Solutions are categorized into types like saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated, based on the amount of solute dissolved, while mixtures can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
