Volatility in the context of chemistry, physics and thermodynamics is a measure of the tendency of a substance to vaporize. It has also been defined as a measure of how readily a substance vaporizes. At a given temperature, substances with higher vapor pressures will vaporize more readily than substances with a lower vapor pressure. Although usually applying to liquids, volatility can apply to solid materials such as dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and ammonium chloride, which can change directly from solid to vapor without becoming liquid. The direct transition of a solid to a vapor is called sublimation.
A "volatile gas" is a technically incorrect term, used often due to the fact that the end result of volatility is the production of a gas. Hence a "volatile gas" makes no sense since the gas is already in the gaseous phase and cannot be volatile in nature. You will usually refer to a volatile liquid or solid (with both being able to convert into gases).
An example of a highly volatile liquid (will evaporate quickly) is diethyl ether. An example of a highly volatile solid is dry ice.
A volatile gas is a gas that readily evaporates at normal temperatures and pressures. These gases can easily form vapors or fumes that can be hazardous if inhaled in high concentrations. Examples include ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and gasoline vapors.
The Term Volatillity Means How Flamable A Substance Is

Gas stripping is a separation process where volatile contaminants are removed from a liquid stream by bubbling a stripping gas (such as air or steam) through the liquid. The contaminants transfer from the liquid phase to the gas phase, resulting in a cleaner liquid product. This technique is commonly used in wastewater treatment and volatile organic compound removal processes.
Yes, pure liquids can be volatile in nature. Volatility is a measure of how easily a substance vaporizes or turns into a gas. Pure liquids with high vapor pressures at a given temperature are considered volatile.
Nail polish remover is a volatile liquid (primarily acetone), which is neither a vapor nor a gas. Now, "volatile" means that it has a high vapor pressure, meaning that easily turns into a partial vapor at standard temperature and pressure (about room temp and a standard atmosphere). So, the acetone is mostly liquid, with some of it turning into vapor (gas) at any given time.
Someliquidshavetendencyto to get turned intovapor form at normal room temperature and pressure.Our cloths became dry due to escape of water molecules in air. Hot and dry air make water more volatile. Gasoline (petrol)is volatile as it rapidly turn into vapor andkerosene is not. Alcohol is also volatile. In high altitude, due to less atmospheric pressure all these becomes more volatile. Higher the boiling point, less volatile the substance is.
Uranium is a metal, non-volatile; neon is a gas.

No, ammonium hydroxide is highly volatile and gives out ammonia gas.
As a volatile gas, nitrogen has no malleability.
because gasoline is a volatile liquid
polymers are not volatile.. therefore, can't be separated by Gas Chromatography
alcohol is made up of ethanol by fermentation though it is volatile in nature but is not a gas..

Petrol is what is usually meant by 'gas' in the U.S. It's not a gas when it's in the tank, it's a volatile liquid,but it becomes a gas in the cylinders.
Petrol is a volatile liquid. The vapours mixed with oxygen are highly combustible.
