An unsaturated solution is one in which a little amount of solute has been added to the solvent. The solvent absorbs all the solute and still has room for more. The solvent has not reached its limit and can still dissolve more solute if added to it. For example, if you add a spoon of sugar to a glass full of water, the sugar dissolves completely. The solution is unsaturated.

A solution is said to be saturated when a solute is not able to dissolve in the solvent. As more and more solute is added to the solvent, it gets to a point where the solvent cannot dissolve any more solute because of some particular conditions (note, the ability of solute to dissolve various amounts of solvent varies and depends on the conditions like temperature, pressure etc). This is when the solution becomes saturated. If you add any more solute, it settles at the bottom of the container. For instance, when water is mixed with lemonade crystals, the lemonade crystals dissolve. At the point when no more lemonade crystals can dissolve in the water, the solution is said to be saturated. Any additional lemonade crystals will not dissolve but settle at the bottom because the water is already holding as much as it possibly can.

hope this help you
