Solvent
The scientific term used to describe a substance that will not dissolve is "insoluble." This means that the substance does not readily mix with a solvent to form a homogeneous solution.
insoluble
"soluble"
Something that can't be dissolved is insoluble.
An oversaturated solution describes a solution that contains more solute than can normally dissolve in the solvent at a given temperature. This can lead to the precipitation of excess solute as solid crystals.

A substance that cannot be dissolved in a solution is considered insoluble. This means that the substance will not form a homogenous mixture with the solvent and will remain as separate particles in the solution.

"Soluble" refers to a substance's ability to dissolve in a solvent, usually water, to form a homogeneous solution. If a substance is soluble, it means it can be evenly distributed within the solvent to create a clear solution.
The term that describes the relationship between water and a substance that doesn't dissolve is "insoluble." An insoluble substance does not dissolve in water due to its chemical properties, which prevent it from interacting effectively with water molecules. As a result, the substance remains separate from the water, often forming a distinct layer or settling at the bottom. Examples include sand or oil when mixed with water.
Solubility is term used to describe how likely a substance is going to dissolve in a solution. If it is highly likely to dissolve in water than it has a high solubility in water (or highly soluble in water). The other technical term is that it is hydroplilic, where hydro=water and philic=like/love. It means the substance "likes water". At the other end of the solubility spectrum, we have substances that are only soluble in oil and not water (aqueous). They are referred to as being lipophilic where lipo=fat, phillic = like; meaning it likes fat/oil. Hope this helps. Just do not get mixed up with the term miscible. Miscible and Soluble are not the same.
Hydrophilic molecules attract water molecules due to their polar nature. This attraction allows them to dissolve in water, forming a homogeneous solution.
The term that describes a solution containing too much solute is "supersaturated." In a supersaturated solution, the concentration of solute exceeds the solute's solubility limit at a given temperature and pressure, leading to potential crystallization if disturbed. This condition can occur when a solution is prepared at a higher temperature and then cooled, allowing more solute to dissolve than would normally be possible at the lower temperature.
