A solute will dissolve in a solvent when the attractive intermolecular forces between the molecules of the solvent and the molecules of the solute are greater than the attractive forces between one solute molecule and another. Thus the solute is effectively 'pulled apart' (on a molecular level at least) by the solvent and it's molecules become 'suspended' between the molecules of the solvent at which point the solute is said to be in solution or dissolved.
A non polar compound would be least likely to dissolve in water.

Once a solution is saturated it won't dissolve any more additive, by definition, at least not of the same material.

No a solution is a liquid that has another substance dissolved in it.Added:When a solute ('the other substance') is dissolved in a solvent (liquid), this will result in a solution.

The answer depends on what the solvent is and how much there is.
Unlike a pure substance, a solution has at least two compounds which are the solute and the solvent.
It is the other way around. The solvent dissolves the solute. A polar solvent, like water, dissolves other polar substances and many ionic substances. A nonpolar solvent dissolves other nonpolar substances. Basically, like dissolves like.

Not sure exactly what you are asking, but a solution is composed of at least one solute dissolved in a solvent.
Non-polar.
Methanol, ethanol, and propanol, all dissolve %100 in water. Also group 1 metal ionic compounds dissolve extremely well in water.
No, the substance needs to be at least weakly polar to dissolve in water. The general rule "like dissolves like" works for this. You need a non-polar substance to dissolve non-polar substances. That's why you should wash your hands with soap and water. Water will take care of the majority of impurities on your hands, and soap with take care of the rest.
sometimes. All solutions have at least one solute and one solvent. While water often does act as a solvent, some solutions have other solvents. Solutions where the solute is dissolved in water belong to a special group of solutions called aqueous solutions.
