Yes
A mechanical mixture consists of two or more substances that are physically combined but retain their individual properties, allowing for easy separation. In contrast, a solution is a homogeneous mixture where one substance (the solute) is completely dissolved in another (the solvent), resulting in a single-phase system. Unlike mechanical mixtures, solutions do not exhibit visible separation of components and cannot be separated by simple mechanical means.
Yes, it is a type of mixture as mixtures are made of 4 categories: Mechanical Mixture (which is different than a solution), Colloid, Suspension, and Solution. So yes, a solution is a type of mixture just not a Mechanical Mixture.
A solution is simply a type of homogenous mixture. There are three common types of homogenous mixtures: suspension mixtures, colloids, and solutions. A solution consists of the smallest particles of these three, and those particles are dissolved in a liquid. The substance that dissolves is called the solute, and the substance in which they are dissolved is called the solvent. So a solution is a type of mixture, not a part.
The substance that does the dissolving in a solution is known as the solvent. It is the component that is present in larger quantities and dissolves the other substance, called the solute, to form a homogeneous mixture. Water is a common solvent in many solutions.
It is a mixture
Yes, "solution" is a common noun. It refers to a mixture in which a liquid dissolves a solid, a plan to solve a problem, or a chemical mixture.

A mixture that results in a liquid. A very common mixture is salt-water.
A substance with properties between a solution and a heterogeneous mixture is called a colloid. In a colloid, tiny particles are dispersed throughout a medium but do not settle out like in a heterogeneous mixture. Unlike solutions, the particles in a colloid are large enough to scatter light, leading to phenomena like the Tyndall effect. Common examples include milk and fog, where the dispersed particles are not visible but affect the overall properties of the mixture.
When water is the solvent, the mixture is a solution.
A solution is a mixture of a solute and a solvent. A common solvent is water and an example of a solute is salt (sodium chloride). Adding salt to water results in a salt solution, sometimes called a saline solution. A solution will be in one phase, normally a liquid but solutions can be found as gasses and as solids. Note that a mixture of two substances that do not form a single homogeneous substance is not a solution. Sand and water don't make a solution and a mixture of dry sugar and salt also don't make a solution.
