Why do you keep posting school science questions here, where they are completely off-topic? Anyway, you should find the answers in your text books, or via google research.
It means that one substance is dispersed within another on a molecular scale[1]. Larger particles dispersed in a liquid so that they stay there for some time rather than separating out is called a suspension. A "suspension" of one liquid in another is an emulsion.
[1] You can have a solution of one solid in another - steel is a solution of carbon in iron, one liquid in another - alcohol dissolves in water, or a gas in a liquid - carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, as well the more easily recognizable ones like sugar or salt dissolved in water.
I already told him to get a good A level chemistry book in his other OT post.

I also suggest brushing up on your grammer, I've seen better writings by 5 year olds!
You should probably do a speling refresher too :-)
Leave him alone, he loves his gran. :-)
Ooooooh, netiquette rule 2373:- *Never*, but never, criticise someone else's spelling or grammar, because you *will* make spelling or grammatical mistakes in your reply....
1) Go to google.
2) In the box type the word "define" followed by a colon and then the word you want explained (so for example you would have "define: dissolve" in the box - without the quotes though)
3) Hit the "Google Search" button
I make a point of making a misteak in these cases, because it's easier than worrying about where the unintentional misteak might be. :-) (I *never* make spelling or grammatical mistakes, they're always typso.)
Or put the reference book containing an alphabetical list of words, with information given for each word, usually including meaning, pronunciation, and etymology engine into your copy of Firefox.
Better still, obtain the Clever Keys freebie.
Oh, I blame the cats. It's invariably one of them wandering nonchalantly across the keyboakesa aqeef...
Is there any learning centre on the use of google on the web?

Looking at the key sequence, it must paws for thought across the keyboard :-)
