No, a solution does not have to be a liquid. A solution can be a mixture of any two substances without chemically reacting to each other. The substance of which there is more is the solvent, and everything else in the solution is called solute. Another common solution is the air in the atmosphere, of which nitrogen is the solvent and oxygen, carbon dioxide, ozone, and every other gas in the atmosphere is solute.
when the solute can no longer dissolve in a solution then the solution can be said as saturated
A graph can illustrate what solution is saturated and unsaturated. If the point is on the line, then the solution is saturated, while if is below the line, the solution is unsaturated.
If a seed crystal was added to a supersaturated solution, the resulting solution would be a crystallized solution. The formation of solid crystals that precipitate from a solution is called crystallization.
A dilute solution.
