Joshua dissolved sugar in water to create a sugar solution. his friend ray tells him it’s a compound, but joshua corrects him. which words actually describe the sugar solution?

the sugar disolved into the water so its a mixture. boom those words are it

Explanation:

When a substance is added to another substance then the resulting substance is known as a mixture.

For example, when sugar is added to water then sugar will completely dissolve into water. Hence, this will form a homogeneous mixture.

That is, particles of sugar are evenly or uniformly distributed into water.

Thus, we can conclude that mixture is the word which will actually describe the sugar solution.
