(i) Aqueous solution : The solution in which water acts as a solvent is called aqueous solution. In general, ionic compounds are soluble in water and form aqueous solutions more readily than covalent compounds.
Eg: Common salt in water, Sugar in water, Copper sulphate in water etc..
(ii) Non-Aqueous solution : The solution in which any liquid, otter than water, acts as a solvent is called nonaqueous solution. Solvent other than water is referred to as non-aqueous solvent. Generally, alcohols, benzene, ethers, carbon disulphide, acetone, etc., are used as nonaqueous solvents.
Eg: Sulphur dissolved in carbon disulphide, Iodine dissolved in carbon tetrachloride.
