molten state is the state reached when heat is given to the system (mostly)

 We know that solutions are homogeneous mixtures and have two components - solute and the solvent.

Aqueous solutions are those which contain water as a solvent while

non-aqueous solutions are those which do not contain water.

In these solutions some other substance is present as a liquid. For example a solution of sugar in water is an aqueous solution, but a solution of Iodine in alcohol is a non aqueous solution
