Definition

1. Adjective:
   • Not capable of being readily volatilized: Describes a substance, typically a liquid or solid, that does not easily evaporate or turn into vapor at normal temperatures and pressures. It implies a low vapor pressure and high boiling point.

Usage Examples

• Adjective:
  • The nonvolatilizable residue was left in the beaker after heating.
  • Glycerin is a nonvolatilizable liquid under standard conditions.
