A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at that temperature is called a saturated solution while a solution in which more quantity of solute can be dissolved without raising its temperature is called an unsaturated solution. To test the saturation or unsaturation of a solution, more solute may be added to the solution. If that solute gets dissolved in the solution then the solution will be unsaturated. To test whether a given solution is saturated or not, add some more solute to the solution and try to dissolve it by stirring. If solute does not dissolve in the given solution, then it will be a saturated solution.

    There are three substances $X, Y$ and $Z.$ The substance $X$ does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the individual properties of its constituents. The substance $Y$ is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance $Y$ has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance $Z$ is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance $Z$ can, however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as $Y.$
    1. What type of substance could $X$ be$?$ Name one substance like $X.$
    2. What type of substance could $Y$ be$?$ Name one substance like $Y.$
    3. What type of substance could $Z$ be$?$ Name one substance like $Z.$
    4. Whish process involves absorption or release of an appreciable amount of energy: formation of substance $X$ or formation of substance $Z?$
    5. Name the three groups into which all the substances like $Y$ are divided on the basis of their properties.
