Acetone is the organic compound An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. For historical reasons discussed below, a few types of compounds such as carbonates, simple oxides of carbon and cyanides, as well as the allotropes of carbon, are considered inorganic. The distinction between "organic" and " with the formula A chemical formula or molecular formula is a way of expressing information about the atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound OC(CH3)2. This colorless, mobile, flammable liquid is the simplest example of the ketones In organic chemistry, a ketone is a type of compound that features one carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two other carbon atoms, i.e., R3CC . Owing to the fact that acetone is miscible In chemistry, miscibility is the property of liquids to mix in all proportions, forming a homogeneous solution. In principle, the term applies also to other phases , but the main focus is on the solubility of one liquid in another. Water and ethanol, for example, are miscible since they mix in all proportions with water Water is the most abundant molecule on Earth's surface, constituting about 70% of the planet's surface. In nature it exists in liquid, solid, and gaseous states. It is in dynamic equilibrium between the liquid and gas states at standard temperature and pressure. At room temperature, it is a nearly colorless with a hint of blue, tasteless, and it serves as an important solvent A solvent is a liquid, solid, or gas that dissolves another solid, liquid, or gaseous solute, resulting in a solution that is soluble in a certain volume of solvent at a specified temperature. Common uses for organic solvents are in dry cleaning , as paint thinners (e.g. toluene, turpentine), as nail polish removers and glue solvents (acetone, in its own right, typically as the solvent of choice for cleaning purposes in the laboratory. More than 3 million tonnes are produced annually, mainly as a precursor to polymers.[2] Familiar household uses of acetone are as the active ingredient in nail polish remover Nail polish is a lacquer applied to toenails or fingernails for appearance, but also as nail protection. Polishing afterward without adding another chemical layer is called nail buffing and as paint thinner and sanitary cleaner/nail polish remover base. It is a common building block in organic chemistry. In addition to being manufactured, acetone also occurs naturally, even being biosynthesized in small amounts in the human body.
