Insoluble is a term used to describe a substance that does not dissolve to a significant extent in a solvent. Examples of insoluble elements include most common carbonates, hydroxides, calcium sulfate, silver chloride and lead chloride, etc.
Answer:
Insoluble comes from the Latin insolubilis meaning "that cannot be loosened." When a substance is insoluble, it cannot be dissolved or loosened in water. Similarly, a situation that is insoluble has no hope of being solved. When a marriage is beyond repair and cannot be fixed, it is insoluble.
Definition: An insoluble substance is a substance (solid) that will not dissolve in a solvent even after mixing (eg; sand and water).
