Supersaturation: A state where more solute is dissolved in a solvent than normally possible under stable conditions. It's like squeezing more passengers onto an already full bus!

Unsaturated Solution: A solution that contains less solute than the maximum amount it can dissolve at a given temperature. It's like a bus with empty seats, ready for more passengers!
