Readily changeable into vapor at low temperatures. 

A solid or liquid material that easily vaporizes. A material with a significant vapor pressure.

In the context of chemical agents, the term volatile refers to substances that are readily vaporizable at normal temperatures and pressures.

"Volatile" refers to a substance that vaporizes readily. Volatility is a measure of how readily a substance vaporizes.Return to the Chemistry Glossary Index

Definition Having a high degree of volatility; i.e. characterized by large price movements; for example, a high-flyer. opposite of stable.

Tending to rapid and extreme fluctuations.

a volatile substance; a substance that changes readily from solid or liquid to a vapour.

The part of a product that evaporates during drying.

Situation that changes rapidly or suffers from extreme fluctuations

Likely to change in a sudden or extreme way.

The volatile keyword is used on variables that may be modified simultaneously by other threads. This warns the compiler to fetch them fresh each time, rather than caching them in registers. This also [..]

Descriptive of a data storage device that loses its contents when power is lost (turned off).

As applied to memory technology, volatile memory loses its data when power is removed. SRAM and DRAM technologies are volatile, while flash, EEPROM, and fuse-type memories are nonvolatile. The inabili [..]

Vaporises readily at normal temperatures.

A volatile wine smells of vinegar due to an abundance of acetic bacteria. In some wines, a tiny dose can be seen as a positive trait. In large amounts this easily ruins a wine.

If the memory loses its information when power is removed, this type of memory is called volatile memory. See also: RAM, ROM

The term given to a substance that is easily converted to the gas state.

Tending to evaporate quickly into the environment.

A market which often is subject to wide price fluctuations is said to be volatile. This volatility is often due to a lack of liquidity.
