nonvolatilisable
Definition
- Adjective: Not capable of being readily vaporized or evaporated; resistant to turning into a gas at ordinary temperatures and pressures. This term is primarily used in scientific and technical contexts, particularly in chemistry.
Usage
The adjective "nonvolatilisable" describes a substance's physical property. It is typically used attributively (before a noun) or predictively (after a linking verb like "is" or "are"). * Attributive use: It modifies a noun directly. * Example: The chemist stored the nonvolatilisable compound at room temperature. * Predictive use: It follows a verb to describe the subject. * Example: This particular oil is nonvolatilisable under normal atmospheric conditions.
Examples
- Due to its nature, the residue remained in the flask after heating.
- Safety protocols are stricter for volatile solvents than for ones.
- The substance was identified as , meaning it would not evaporate and contaminate the air.
Advanced Usage
- The term is often used in contrast to "volatile." A key concept in chemistry and materials science is the distinction between volatile and components in a mixture.
- In environmental science, pollutants are of concern because they persist in soil or water rather than dispersing into the air.
