An ideal solution is one in which the interactions between the two components are the same as the interactions between like molecules. In such a solution, the excess Gibbs free energy of mixing (\Delta G_{mix}) is always negative. This is because the mixing of the two components results in a decrease in the entropy of the system, which is compensated by a decrease in the enthalpy of the system.
