Wood alcohol is Methanol, or methyl alcohol.
Its chemical structure is: CH3-OH.
That breaks down to C, H, H, H, H, O = 6 atoms.
166 millon atoms
One oxygen atom is in each alcohol molecule. This is true of methyl (wood) alcohol, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl alcohol and all of the alcohols based on a simple hydrocarbon chain (acyclic alcohols).
Pure wood alcohol is methanol, but as all alcohols are hygroscopic it cannot exist long in that state but will always be mixed with some water.Wood alcohol sold in a store may contain additives or contaminants also.
also how many atoms of Oxygen does it have
Wood alcohol, also known as methanol, is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Its chemical formula is CH3OH.
No it is a chemical compound, methanol, CH3OH

Wood alcohol is also known as methyl alcohol. It is used as a solvent , fuel, and antifreeze. It may also be used as a de-icing agent.
"Wood alcohol" is more systematically named methanol, has the molecular formula CH4O, and contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Alcohol is a compound of Hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbon. in the case of wood alcohol it has methylated spirits it is derived from wood or wood products such as cellulose. Wood Alcohol, of football song fame, is NOT intended for human consumption, and one glass could cause total blindness in some cases, talk of blind drunk It is no laughing matter, Ok for paints, not people,... as we too become Denatured. Leave it alone!
methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, wood naphthaor wood spirits
"Wood alcohol" is formally known as methanol, which has a molecular formula of CH3OH. Adding the explicit subscript 3 present for the first occurrence of the H symbol for hydrogen in the formula to the implicit subscript 1 for the second occurrence of the symbol for hydrogen shows that each molecule of methanol contains 4 hydrogen atoms.
