An emulsion is best described as a mixture of?

  1. Solid in solid

  2. Liquid in liquid

  3. Gas in liquid

  4. Liquid in gas

The correct answer is: Liquid in liquid

An emulsion is best described as a mixture of liquid in liquid. In an emulsion, one liquid is dispersed in the form of small droplets throughout another liquid. This forms a stable dispersion where the two liquids do not separate completely. Options A, C, and D are not correct as they do not describe the specific characteristic of an emulsion, which involves two immiscible liquids forming a stable mixture.
