Conclusion:

By doing this experiment I noticed that not all types of liquids react the same when placed on different types of surfaces. Water slightly reacts differently when placed on different materials. Vegetable oil also reacts slightly differently when placed on different materials. Ethanol reacted completely different when it was placed on different surfaces. Acetone also reacted completely differently when placed on different surfaces.

I noticed that when experimenting with the acetone that it seemed as if electrons in this chemical were splitting, as the acetone made a design across the glass, missing certain areas of the glass. Acetone was the only liquid that dissolved after a few minutes when placed upon a certain surface.
