Description of any substance that evaporates easily.
This is said of an odor that evaporates very rapidly. Top notes are always the most volatile notes in a perfume.
Most of the flavour of a wine is conveyed to the nose by evaporation. Alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature than water, so the flavours are concentrated in the alcohol. See bananas and acetic.
1. Capable of being readily vaporized. 2. A substance that can readily be vaporized, such as water or carbon dioxide.
Applies to any substance which can be easily activated by applying heat, light, chemicals etc., to move it from one condition to another.
Substances which have a tendency to enter the gas phase easily (by evaporation, addition of heat, etc.) are called volatile.
A compound is volatile when it evaporates or vaporizes (changes from liquid to a gas) at ordinary temperatures on exposure to the air.
Evaporates easily. Alcohol vaporises at a lower temperature than water, so it is more volatile. Most of the flavour of a wine is dissolved in the alcohol, so the smell is easily apparent.
That which readily vaporizes; evaporates quickly.
( Beetle FAQs) - characterized by or subject to unexpected change; readily vaporizable at a relatively low temperature.
Materials which are capable of being driven off as a vapor during molding.
A material which will vaporize easily.
Prone to rapid evaporation. Both combustible and noncombustible materials may be volatile.
Ability to evaporate easily.
evaporating readily at normal temperatures and pressures; "volatile oils"; "volatile solvents"
marked by erratic changeableness in affections or attachments; "fickle friends"; "a flirt's volatile affections"
a substance that evaporates readily
Volatile means evaporating readily at normal temperatures and pressures, i.e., capable of being readily vaporized.
quickly vaporizable (turns to gas) at low temperatures. Volatile chemicals are usually very reactive and dangerous.
Readily forming a vapor or gaseous phase.
A material that evaporates. This term is used to indicate the relative rapidity of evaporation of any solvent.
Any substance which evaporates quickly.
Describes a substance that readily evaporates into vapor at normal temperatures and pressures.
referring to “volatile organic compounds†(VOCs)—a family of chemical compounds found in oils; VOCs evaporate quickly and can cause nerve damage and behavioral abnormalities in mammals when inhaled.
A substance that evaporates or vaporizes at a relatively low temperature.
A substance that evaporates quickly, such as alcohol.
The characteristic of an Essential Oil to evaporate. The more volatile an oil is, the more quickly it will evaporate.
Capable of vaporization at a relatively low temperature.
A substance which is easily vaporized.
The property of being easily vaporized. Volatile elements stay in gaseous form except at very low temperatures; they did not condense into solid form during the formation of the solar system.
A compound is volatile when it evaporates (changes from a liquid or solid to a gas) at ordinary temperature when exposed to air.
Evaporating readily at normal temperatures and pressures. The air concentration of a highly volatile chemical can increase quickly in a closed room.
Easily evaporated. The easily evaporated components of any coating or sealant.
Capable of vaporizing at low temperatures.
A liquid which easily evaporates into a gas.
descriptive of a substance which passes off easily as a gas or vapor, evaporating quickly.
A solid or liquid material that easily vaporizes.
Evaporating readily at normal pressures and temperatures.
icy materials on interstellar dust grains; these materials evaporate at a lower temperatures than the materials on the core. Compare with refractory.
A property of liquids in which they pass away by evaporating.
The part of a product that evaporates during drying.
most of the flavor components of wines are volatile, or easily perceivable by the nose. Volatile acidity refers to the acetic acid and ethyl acetate content of wines, their vinegary aspect.
property of liquids to pass away by evaporation.
Describes a substance that evaporates or vaporizes rapidly at room temperature, as a volatile liquid.
Vaporizing or evaporating quickly.
Unstable and evaporates easily.
In the context of chemical agents, readily vaporizable at normal temperatures and pressures.
Compounds with low melting temperatures, such as hydrogen, helium, water, ammonia, carbon dioxide and methane.
Any substance that evaporates readily.
Easily vaporized at a low temperature. Changing easily from the state of a liquid to a gas or vapour.
easily vaporized or evaporated
Capable of becoming vapor at relatively low temperatures.
Subject to rapid and/or unexpected change.
Material that has a tendency to vaporize and evaporate rapidly.
