1. Homogeneity in a solution refers to the uniform distribution of its components at the molecular or ionic level throughout the entire mixture. This means that the properties, such as composition and concentration, are consistent throughout the solution, resulting in a uniform appearance and behavior.

  2. Yes, solutions can exist in forms other than liquids. Examples include solid solutions like alloys (e.g., brass, a mixture of copper and zinc), gaseous solutions such as air (a mixture of gases), and even liquid solutions like amalgams (e.g., dental fillings, a mixture of mercury and other metals).
