A saturated solution is where there is more solute in a solution than a solvent. A unsaturated solution is where there is more solvent than solute in a solution. And a super saturated solution is when let's say you boil water and put a bunch of sugar crystals in it,it will hold more solute than when it's cooled. So youhave a bunch of crystals in boiled water, then you cool the water down and sometimes the crystals will stay in the solution. Then it becomes supersaturated. Sorry if I'm wrong. :3

These terms have to do with the amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given solvent. An unsaturated solution has less than the maximum amount of solute dissolved. A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute than can normally be dissolved in that solvent. A supersaturated solution is obtained usually by heating the solution so that more than the maximum amount of solute can be dissolved. When the temperature returns to normal, and if the solute does not precipitate out, a supersaturated solution is obtained.

Saturated solution: the solute has the maximal possible concentration at a given temperature.
Unsaturated solution: the solute has a concentration lower than the saturation concentration at a given temperature.
Supersaturated solution: the amount of the solute in the liquid is over the limit of solubility at a given temperature.

What is the type of solution with so much solute that no more will dissolve?

When a solute is added to a solvent until no more dissolves, the solution is said to be saturated. In some cases a solution can be made to be supersaturated by temporarily increasing the solubility of the solvent, such as through an increase in temperature.
