Answer:

acetone

Step-by-step explanation:

Acetone, or propanone, is a natural compound with the equation (CH₃)₂CO. It is the easiest and littlest ketone. It is a dry, profoundly unstable and combustible fluid with a trademark sharp smell. It is commonly used in nail polish remover because of it's hydrogen and carbon compounds.
