Solution

Solubility - Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent. A substance may dissolve in a solvent, and it may not. For instance, salt dissolves easily in water : Salt is said to have a high solubility in water. However, sand does not dissolve appreciably in water : Sand has low or no solubility in water.
Saturation - Type of solution formed on dissolving the solute.
