Answer:

Please find the definition and further explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the ability for the solvent (liquid substance) to dissolve a solute (solid substance), a solution can either be unsaturated, saturated or supersaturated. A SATURATED SOLUTION is that which contains the maximum amount of solute a solvent can possibly dissolve.

In other words, a saturated solution can no longer dissolve anymore solute, and hence, any further solute added forms crystals or makes the solution supersaturated.
