Detailed Solution

  • A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
  • The particles of a solution are smaller than 1 nm in diameter. So, they cannot be seen by the naked eye.
  • Because of their very small particle size, they do not scatter a beam of light passing through the solution. So, the path of light is not visible in a solution.
  • The solute particles cannot be separated from the mixture by the process of filtration. The solute particles do not settle down when left undisturbed, that is, a solution is stable.
  • So the statement - ' The particles of a solution can be separated by filtration method.'  is not the property of a solution.
