What is volatile and non volatile substance?
1. Volatile substances have a tendency to vaporize whereas nonvolatile substances do not have a tendency to vaporize. 2. Volatile substances have a high vapor pressure at normal room temperature and pressure. Nonvolatile substances do not have a high vapor pressure in these conditions.
What is meant by non volatile substances?
What Does Nonvolatile Mean? Nonvolatile is the inability of a substance to readily evaporate into gas. Nonvolatile substances are usually solids with boiling points above 212°F (100°C), and do not vaporize easily at room temperature and pressure.

How do you know if a substance is volatile?
A substance is said to be volatile if it boils at a low temperature, changing from the liquid to the gas phase. Substances that are gases at room temperature are extremely volatile: they have high volatility. They can only be seen as liquids when exposed to low temperatures or high pressures.
What is the opposite of stability?
