Definition: Isotonic Solutions

Two or more solutions having the same osmotic pressure are said to be isotonic solutions.

CBSE: Class 12

Definition: Hypertonic Solutions

If two solutions have unequal osmotic pressures, the more concentrated solution with higher osmotic pressure is said to be a hypertonic solution.

For example, if osmotic pressure of sucrose solution is higher than that of urea solution, the sucrose solution is hypertonic to urea solution.

CBSE: Class 12

Definition: Hypotonic Solutions

The more dilute solution exhibiting lower osmotic pressure is said to be a hypotonic solution. 

For example, if osmotic pressure of sucrose solution is lower than that of urea solution, the sucrose solution is hypotonic to urea solution.
