•Saturated Solution: A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in a definite amount of solvent at a given temperature is called a saturated solution.

Example: A soda is a saturated solution of carbon dioxide in water. This is why, when the pressure is released, carbon dioxide gas forms bubbles.

•Unsaturated solution: It is a solution in which more of solute can be dissolved at a given temperature. In this, addition of solute is possible till the solution reaches the point of saturation.

Example: Salt dissolved in water even sugar dissolved in water is an Unsaturated solution if the quantity of dissolved Salt/Sugar is below the saturation point.
