(Chemistry) Solutions and Crystals

1. A solution is formed when a solid dissolves in a liquid

   • The solid is referred to as the solute
   • The liquid is referred to as the solvent

2. A dilute solution is one where there is a lot of solvent and only a little solute

   • A concentrated solution is one where the is a lot of solute and only a little solvent

3. A saturated solution is one where no more solute will dissolve is the solvent

4. Some solids are also found in the form of a crystal

5. Crystalline solids have definite shapes because of the atom

6. Salt is composed of two different types of atom

   • Sodium (Na)
     • Chlorine (CI)
