With Solid compounds or elements, the opposite action to dissolving something is referred to as 'precipitation'.

This process leaves fine residue of the original compound or even, sometimes, a different compound depending on the chemical mix.

However, technically, the same process can be brought about by evaporation of the liquid that the compound is dissolved in at a temperature that drives off the liquid but leaves the originally dissolved compound.

With gaseous compounds or elements, the closest word is probably 'effervesce' meaning 'to give off bubbles', often the word is used when things fizz.

This is what happens when you open a bottle or can of carbonated drink - the carbon-dioxide dissolved within the drink begins to effervesce and gives off bubbles. (Incidentally, the tingle on the tongue is due to the carbon dioxide, not the presence of bubbles)

(The term 'insoluble' is often applied to poorly or very poorly soluble compounds or elements - things that will not dissolve readily or sometimes at all.)

What solvents must be used if the substance won't dissolve?

This question is a bit vague, but I will do my best to help clarify. In describing solubility of certain solutes, it is important to remember that "like dissolves like". This means that polar solvents will dissolves polar solutes. A polar substance is one who has a partial charge in one direction of the molecule. So a polar solute, like ammonia (NH3) will dissolve readily is a polar solvent, like water (H2O). Likewise, non-polar solutes will dissolve in non-polar solvents.So if the substance won't dissolve in what you are trying to dissolve it in, use a solvent with the opposite polarity.
