Yes. You can add more solute to make it more concentrated, or if some of the solvent (water) evaporates it can become more concentrated. If you add additional water, it will become less concentrated.

Some elements can dissolve in water to form an aqueous solution, but by its very definition an element is only one type of atom. An aqueous solution is something dissolved in water, so the substance will no longer be an element if it is dissolved in H2O.
Yes, the concentration of an aqueous solution can change. It can increase if water evaporates or if someone adds additional solute. The concentration can decrease if additional water is added.
Aqueous solutions is where hydrogen bonds form! A hydrogen atom with a negative charge is attracted to an oxygen atom with a positive charge on an adjacent compound.
The liquid is the solvent, and the solid is the solute.
Solute = the substance dissolved in a given solution. Solvent = a. the process by which a gas, liquid, or solid is dispersed homogeneously in a gas, liquid, or solid without chemical change. b. such a substance, as dissolved sugar or salt in solution. c. a homogeneous, molecular mixture of two or more substances.

Solubility is the ability of a substance (solute) to make a solution with another substance (solvent). The solvent is usually a liquid, and the solute can be a solid, liquid, or gas. The solute is usually dissolved into the liquid to create the solution.
When a solid is dissolved in a liquid, the liquid is said to be the solvent and the solid is to be the solute. The liquid that you get after dissolving the solid into the liquid is called the solution. When a solute dissolves, the solvent particles attract the particles of the solute away which breaks the cluster of particles apart. After dissolving enough amount that the solvent cannot dissolve more, the solution is said to be saturated. It is the state when the solution cannot dissolve anymore solute. The opposite of solution is suspension. A suspension is when the solute cannot be dissolved (that is, it is insoluble) into the solvent and stays suspended in the solvent. A suspension is translucent and the suspended particles can be easily seen. While, in a solution, the particles are soluble and complete dissolve into the solvent. A solution is transparent and the particles are too small to be seen through naked eyes.
A solution is a compound that dissolved from another compound.
