volatile substances

Volatile substances are chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature, turning from a liquid into a gas. This property makes them capable of producing vapors or fumes that can spread quickly in the air. Common examples include gasoline, alcohol, and some cleaning products. While they can be useful for applications like solvents and fuels, many volatile substances can also be harmful when inhaled or improperly handled, as they may be toxic or flammable. Understanding their properties is important for safety in both industrial and domestic settings.
