  • Insoluble Substances: Definitions, Examples & Related Terms
    A substance that cannot be dissolved in solution is called insoluble.

    Here are some other terms you might come across:

    * Immiscible: This term is usually used for liquids that don't mix, like oil and water.

    * Nonpolar: This refers to the chemical structure of the substance. Nonpolar substances tend to be insoluble in polar solvents like water.

    * Precipitate: This refers to a solid that forms when two solutions are mixed and a substance becomes insoluble.

    Let me know if you'd like more detail on any of these!
