It is not adequate for this type of substance; and the substance is called insoluble.
It is called a solvent, the substance being dissolved is a solute.
solvent
something that can be dissolve in liquid is called soluble. if the solute can dissolve in the solvent, it is called a solution

A substance that can dissolve in particular solvent is called a solute. The resulting mixture is called a solution. A general rule is that "like dissolves like." If a solute is polar, it will need a polar solvent to fully dissolve it.
If the solvent is a gas, only gases are dissolved under a given set of conditions. If the solvent is a liquid, then gases, liquids, and solids can be dissolved.
actually the substance in which a thing dissolves is called a solvent, and the things which dissolves in the solvent is called a solute. and water is called a universal solvent cuz it can dissolve a very wide range of solutes with a slight differende in their solubilities( that is the capacity to dissolve). fr eg in the case of sugar solution water is a solvent.
Solvent
Water is called a solvent, because of the many things that dissolve in it.
A solute dissolved in a solvent is called a solution.
The amount of a substance that can dissolve in a solvent is called its solubility. It is usually expressed as the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.
