An example of something being volatile is the Stock Market. Volatile means that there can be sudden or extreme changes.
The simplest example is diethyl ether.
Rom is a non volatile memory
A:petrol B:gasoline C:cologne D:ammonia
ram
Examples: methanol, acetone, benzene.
Volatile memory is temporary memory that is lost when then computer is shut off (RAM). Non-volatile is permanent memory that that holds its data even when the computer is shut off (ROM, NVRAM). Volatile memory is memory that disappears after you turn off your computer RAM is a big example of that because all the memory on RAM disappears after you turn off your computer. Non-Volatile memory is memory that even if you turn off your computer it will still be there. A huge example of that is hard drive memory. volatile= disappears after the computer is turned off Non-Volatile= never disappears.
RAM is a volatile Memory. But ROM is not volatile.
If you want an example, all 'RAM' (Random Access Memory) is volatile - once power is removed the data is lost. Compare this to a CD or your hard disk drive.

Volatile storage: if storage media loses data while power goes off, it is termed as volatile storage media for example RAM. It is the fastest among the three in terms of data access time. Non-volatile storage: If storage media retains data even while power goes off, it is termed as non-volatile storage media. For example: hard disk. It is faster than stable storage but slower as compared to volatile storage. Stable Storage:Information that is residing in stable storage is certainly not lost (theoretically). A natural catastrophe may result in a loss if not the probability of data loss is negligible. For example by using multiple hard disks as in the case of RAID technology. This is the slowest of all storage media mentioned above.
DRAM is a volatile memory
