Volatility (chemistry) vapor pressure chart (right hand side) displays the vapor pressures dependency for a variety of liquids as a function of temperature. For example, at any given temperature, chloromethane (methyl chloride) has the highest vapor pressure of any of the liquids in the chart. It also has the lowest normal boiling point (−24.2 °C), which is where the vapor pressure curve (the blue line) intersects the horizontal pressure line of one atmosphere (atm) of absolute vapor pressure. Volatility (chemistry) In chemistry and physics, volatility is quantified by the tendency of a substance to vaporize. Volatility is directly related to a substance's
Philosophy of chemistry nucleophilicity, for example. The noted philosopher of science, Karl Popper, among others, predicted as much. Several philosophers and scientists have focused on the philosophy of chemistry in recent years, notably, the Dutch philosopher Jaap van Brakel, who wrote "The Philosophy of Chemistry" in 2000, and the Maltese philosopher-chemist Eric Scerri, editor of the journal "Foundations of Chemistry" and author of "Normative and Descriptive Philosophy of Science and the Role of Chemistry in Philosophy of Chemistry", 2004, among other articles. Scerri is especially interested in the philosophical foundations of the periodic table, and how physics and chemistry intersect in relation to
