A solution is said to saturated when it cannot dissolve any extra solute in it. The extra solute put remains undissolved.

A solution is said to unsaturated, when the concentration of solute is less as compared to solubility of the solution it is said to be unsaturated.

A solution is said to be super saturated when it contains more of the solute than the solvent can dissolve under normal conditions is called super saturated.
