About Solvents
A solvent is a substance capable of dissolving a solute which can be in a solid, liquid, or gaseous state to form a solution. Solvents are chemicals that melt, suspend, or extract other materials. Solvents can be of two types: Organic that contains carbon, and inorganic that does not contain carbon. Oxygenated, hydrocarbons, and halogenated are the common types of organic solvents.
