  1. unsaturated

    Unsaturated generally refers to a state or condition in which something has not yet reached its maximum capacity for absorption or saturation. In chemistry, it refers to organic compounds, usually fats or oils, that have at least one carbon-carbon double bond and hence can absorb additional hydrogen atoms. In physics, it can refer to compounds, solutions, or vapors that are capable of absorbing or dissolving more of something. In meteorology, it refers to air that still has the capacity to hold more water vapor.
