# undissolved

adjective (undissolved)

«undissolved» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

Undissolved means not dissolved: still solid in a liquid, not mixed in so that it disappears. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/undissolved/#m1)

### In the lessons

In science lessons on solutions and mixtures, pupils stir sugar or salt into water: if some sugar stays at the bottom, it is undissolved. A substance stays undissolved because the liquid is saturated (can't hold any more), or because the substance is insoluble, like sand. Undissolved solids can be separated by filtering. Phrases: «undissolved sugar», «undissolved solid».

### Examples

- Some sugar was left undissolved at the bottom of the cup. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/undissolved/#x1)

### Note

Prefix un- (not) + dissolved. «Dissolve» means mix into a liquid so you can't see it; dissolving is not melting — melting needs heat and no liquid. Mass is kept: dissolved sugar is still in the water.
