The intermolecular forces between acetone molecules and the chemical components of felt pens must be similar. Acetone contains two non polar C-C bonds and C-H bonds. It also contains a highly electronegative carbonyl group C=O.

Why does acetone remove permanent marker?

Acetone is a strong solvent that can dissolve the ink in permanent markers. The ink in permanent markers is designed to be resistant to water and fading, but it is not resistant to the powerful solvent properties of acetone. When acetone is applied to a surface with permanent marker, it breaks down the ink and allows it to be wiped away.


What is the chemical in markers that smells good?

This is the solvent in the ink (dye). Toluol and Xylol were common synthetics used as solvents but have now been replaced by safer chemicals such as cyclic alkylene carbonates. (this is the sweet smelling gas you detect) The solvent is the substance into which the dye is diluted. Water can also act as a solvent in ink. When released from the marker, the solvent evaporates and leaves the solid ink on the surface
