Organic solvents are a chemical class of compounds that are used routinely in commercial industries, usually as cleaning solutions, paint thinners, adhesives and insecticides. They all share a common structure, at least one carbon atom and one hydrogen atom. They also share a low molecular weight, lipophilicity, volatility, and they exist in liquid form at room temperature.
