Volatile is understood to be those elements that, due to their physical characteristics, have the facility to fly or to disperse in the air. Normally, the term is used a lot in questions or phenomena that have to watch with the physical or science. However, it can also be used metaphorically to refer to social phenomena, for example when it is meant that a person has very volatile relationships which means that their relationships or contacts with other people are very unstable and not durable.
It should be clarified that the volatile term is a qualifying adjective that applies to certain explicit phenomena or things. Volatile is something that checks features of volatility, that is, of the ability to rise and disperse in the air. For something to be considered volatile it has to meet certain characteristics, especially being very light or light in weight so that the air itself can disperse it or lift it in case this is necessary. Furthermore, it is also
important for example, if it is gaseous matter, that it does not have a concentration very high so that the air can be heavier than it to be able to fly in it.As mentioned, the volatile applies in most cases to physical or scientific matters. But the term is also often used for other questions, those that have nothing scientific and that are related more than anything to social aspects. This is clear when talking about phenomena that contain little duration and that they are very fragile in the face of different events in reality, for example a promise that is volatile is a promise that does not last long and is therefore not explicitly fulfilled.
