Volatile

The video tutorial explains the concept of volatility, typically associated with liquids, under normal temperatures and pressures. It also highlights that some solids, like iodine, can be volatile and transition directly to vapor without becoming liquid, a process known as sublimation.

• Metals

• Plasmas

Which of the following solids is mentioned as being volatile?

• Sublimation

• Evaporation

• Condensation

Which phase does a volatile solid skip when turning into vapor?

• Gas

• Liquid

• Solid

• Plasma

What is a common characteristic of volatile substances?

• They are always solid at room temperature.

• They easily turn into vapor.
