Yes. For example, an unsaturated sugar solution has less solute than a saturated sugar solution.
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure, resulting in some undissolved solute present. In contrast, an unsaturated solution contains less solute than the maximum capacity, allowing more solute to dissolve. The solubility of the solute and the temperature can influence whether a solution is saturated or unsaturated.
A solute dissolves in a solvent to form a solution; all the time that more of the solute can be dissolved it is unsaturated, but once the solution can hold no more of the solute it has become saturated.
Saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated refer to the concentration of solute in a solution. A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature, leading to equilibrium between dissolved and undissolved solute. An unsaturated solution has less solute than this maximum, allowing more solute to dissolve. A supersaturated solution contains more solute than can typically dissolve at that temperature, achieved by altering conditions such as temperature, and is often unstable.
If the solute is soluble, it will dissolve in the solvent.
To change an unsaturated solution to a saturated solution, you would need to add more solute to the solution until no more solute can dissolve and starts to accumulate at the bottom. This process is called saturation.
Solutions can be classified as saturated (maximum amount of solute dissolved at a given temperature), unsaturated (less solute than saturation point), or supersaturated (more solute than normally possible at that temperature).
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure, resulting in some undissolved solute present. In contrast, an unsaturated solution contains less solute than the maximum capacity, allowing more solute to dissolve. The solubility of the solute and the temperature can influence whether a solution is saturated or unsaturated.
An unsaturated solution contains less solute than a saturated solution and is able to dissolve additional solute until it reaches the point of saturation.
The three types of solutions are: saturated (contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a specific temperature), unsaturated (contains less solute than the maximum amount that can dissolve), and supersaturated (holds more solute than it should at that temperature, often created by cooling a saturated solution).
A solution becomes unsaturated when it contains less solute than it could dissolve at a given temperature. This can happen by removing some of the solute or by adding more solvent to dilute the solution. Unsaturated solutions have the capacity to dissolve more solute.
In a supersaturated solution, the solute concentration exceeds the saturation point at that temperature. This is achieved by dissolving the solute in a hot solution and then slowly cooling it down without allowing the excess solute to precipitate out. A saturated solution has the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature.
Nothing more can be added to a saturated solution - the liquid is literally 'full up' with the solute being dissolved, so if you carry on adding the solute, it will not dissolve and the solution will not become any more concentrated. A concentrated solution has a very large amount of the solute in it (there is more solute than solvent), but it has not yet reached the point where no more solute can be dissolved. If you keep adding to it, the solute will dissolve.

Hypertonic compared to solution B, meaning it has a higher solute concentration. Water will tend to move from solution B to solution A in an attempt to equalize the concentration of solute between the two solutions.
