Volatile is a property matter has, this property is usually placed on liquids but exceptions for solids can be made as well: such as dry ice. A volatile liquid/solid evaporates at room temperature, it does not have to evaporate fully like boiling water or any boiling matter. Just as long as it evaporates a little it has the "volatile" property even though the degree will vary. This is caused by low intermolecular forces within the matter, low intermolecular forces also cause high vapor pressures.
