A solid formed when two solutions react
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to fit all your clothes into a suitcase for a trip, but as you add more items, it becomes so full that some clothes start spilling out. This situation is similar to when two solutions are mixed in a scientific experiment, and the combination of their dissolved substances forms a solid, known as a precipitate. Just like the clothes can't all fit in the suitcase and overflow, the dissolved particles can't remain in solution and form a solid, demonstrating how sometimes an excess or combination creates something new that stands out.
