Only certain amount of od a solid can be dissolved in water at the given volume and temperature and if we add more amount, no more of that solid will dissolve. At this kind of stage, people say that solution is saturated. When we add a small amount of granulated sugar to the water, most of the sucrose molecules are leaving the sugar crystals, pulled away from the water molecules. You can also notice that some dissolved sucrose molecules are also crystallizing but other sucrose molecules are rejoining the sugar crystals.The reason is that sucrose molecules are constantly moving in the solution, so nothing prevents them from binding. Also by the temperature, sugar are more easily dissolved in
