Hello, Tokyodrift4, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Peer Review - Volatility(Chemistry)

edit

This is a good start to what could be added to this article. There is a limited amount to say about the concept of volatility that isn't said with vapor pressure, but you could perhaps go into what causes certain things to have different vapor pressures: molecular weight, forces, etc, or you could add equations or images/diagrams. You might also want to find a textbook to cite, as well as use Ctrl+K to link to other articles for key-words like vaporize or vapor pressure. Your tone seems a little too conversational than I'd use for Wikipedia, but it's not bad.ElliotNestor (talk) 04:11, 16 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Response to Peer Review

edit

I agree that the article could use an explanation of what influences volatility. I'm considering adding a new section or sub-section for this purpose titled "Contributing factors", which would include molecular weight, phase, intermolecular forces, and possibly a figure comparing vapor pressure of basic alkanes. As for citations, all of the info used so far is from textbooks and I'll be sure to cite everything properly. Thanks for the feedback about the tone, I agree and I'll do my best to make it sound more professional. Tokyodrift4 (talk) 20:54, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
