compound
The term solution can be used to identify a mixture that has the same composition throughout.
A solution is a mixture of one substance dissolved in another so the properties are the same throughout. A solution is composed of a solute and the solvent. The solute is the substance being dissolved and the solvent is the part of the solution that does the dissolving. The solute is of molecular size.
A colloidal suspension is neither a mixture nor a solution.
isotonic solution
solution
The concentration of the solute and solvent are the same throughout, and the solute will not settle out, and cannot be filtered. A homogeneous solution also exists as one phase, such as a liquid.

Homogeneous. The prefix homo means "the same". A solution is the same throughout.
solution
A mixture has different properties throughout; a pure substance has the same properties throughout.
It is the same
A solution is a homogeneous mixture, which means that it is uniform throughout. Examples of solutions are salt water, a copper sulfate solution, and black coffee. Another kind of mixture is a heterogeneous mixture in which it is not uniform throughout. Instead, the individual components are visible and not uniform. Examples of heterogeneous mixtures are a mixture of sand and iron filings, conglomerate, and beef stew.
