A volatile liquid is a substance that has a high vapor pressure at room temperature, meaning it readily evaporates into the air. This characteristic is due to the liquid's molecules having relatively weak intermolecular forces, allowing them to escape easily into the vapor phase. Examples of volatile liquids include alcohols, acetone, and gasoline. Their volatility makes them useful in various applications, such as in solvents and fuels, but also requires careful handling due to flammability and health risks.
