  • Insoluble Substances: Definition & Examples - Chemistry Explained
    The term that describes a substance that cannot be dissolved in solution is insoluble.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Soluble: A substance that can dissolve in a solvent to form a solution.

    * Insoluble: A substance that cannot dissolve in a solvent to form a solution.

    For example, salt is soluble in water, meaning it dissolves to form a salt solution. Sand, on the other hand, is insoluble in water, meaning it does not dissolve and will settle at the bottom of the container.
