See, it's funny because volatility has two meanings...(quoting from Google's definitions)
- liability to change rapidly and unpredictably, especially for the worse
- As in, "the market is highly volatile right now. Eventually it will settle once all the news has been priced into the stocks."
- tendency of a substance to evaporate at normal temperatures
- As in, "organic chemistry deals with a number of volatile substances. That's why the labs have a distinct smell of solvents."
- Inorganic chemistry deals with far fewer highly-volatile solvents.
