they take a longer time to diffuse than gases because the particles are packed more tightly together. If your doing science, I would just say they take longer than gases and act slower

A liquid with dissolved solids is a liquid; a liquid with solids suspended in it is a "non-Newtonian fluid." Mix up a 1:1 of water and cornstarch and you'll see what I mean.
The dissolved substance is a called a solute.
No, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent. The solute can be a solid, liquid, or gas, and the solvent is typically a liquid, but can also be a gas or solid.
Usually heating the liquid will allow more solid to be dissolved. This not always the case though.
A liquid in which a solid is dissolved is called a solvent. The solid that is being dissolved is known as a solute. When the solute is added to the solvent and dissolves, it forms a solution.
The word you are looking for is "dissolved." When a solid substance breaks down into individual molecules and is evenly spread out in a liquid, we say that it has dissolved in the liquid.
The scientific name for a liquid that has a solid in it is solution.

The word used for a solid dissolved in a liquid is "solute." In a solution, the solute is the substance that is being dissolved, while the liquid in which it is dissolved is called the solvent. When a solute dissolves in a solvent, it forms a homogeneous mixture known as a solution.
Yes, mass is conserved when a solid is dissolved in a liquid. The total mass of the solid and the liquid remains the same before and after dissolution. The solid particles disperse in the liquid, maintaining the overall mass of the system.
melting
This is called a solution.
