Is pumice and obsidian forms of volcanic gas?

Partially correct. Pumice forms from rapidly cooling lava containing volatiles (water and gas) and obsidian forms from rapidly cooling lava that doesn't contain volatiles. Bubbles from volatiles are frozen in place and cannot escape before the lava hardens forming pumice. Obsidian and pumice are sometimes found together although obsidian itself is relatively rare.
