Non-examples of a solution refer to mixtures or substances that are not uniform throughout (heterogeneous) or where substances do not dissolve in one another. Here are some examples:
1. Oil and Water: These do not mix uniformly and separate into layers.
2. Sand and Water: The sand settles at the bottom, and the mixture is not uniform.
3. Salad: A mixture of ingredients that remain distinct and do not dissolve.
4. Granite: A heterogeneous rock with visible grains of different minerals.
5. Suspensions: Mixtures like muddy water, where particles are dispersed but not dissolved.
These examples demonstrate the opposite characteristics of a solution, which is a homogenous mixture where solute is dissolved in a solvent.
