1. Saturated and Unsaturated Solutions

2. Unsaturated Solution
More solute could dissolve at the same temperature.
More solvent particles are available to dissolve solute.
We can still add more solute to the solvent and it will dissolve
Example: We can have dissolve 10grams of sugar in 100 grams of water and we only add 6 grams

3. No more solute will dissolve at a specific temperature.
All of the solvent particles are already attracted to as many solute particles as they can be.
We can still cannot dissolve any more solute to the solvent. If we add more it settles on the bottom and does not dissolve
Example: We can have dissolve 10 grams of sugar in 100 grams of water and we add exactly 10 grams.
Saturated Solution

4. SuperSaturated Solution
When a single crystal is added to the solution, it grows until the whole solution becomes a solid.
We can have added too much of the solute so it does not dissolve and settles to the bottom
We can make it saturated if we heat up the mixture
Example: We can have dissolve 10 grams of sugar in 100 grams of water and we add 14 grams.
