What is te symble of ethanol?

To correct your English Grammar. It is NOT symble' , but 'symbol' Secondly for a chemical substance it is the FORMULA. Symbols are only given to elements in the Periodic Table. So the equation should read ' What is the chemical formula for ethanol?' Answer: CH3CH2OH Sometimes shortened to C2H5OH , but NEVER 'C2H6O' nor 'C2OH6'. NB Carbon's symbol is 'C' Hydrogen's symbol is 'H' Oxygen's symbol is 'O'. Combined together as the substance 'ethanol', they have the Formula of CH3CH2OH .

What is the formula for ethanol?

Ethanol has the formula ' CH3-CH2-OH '. Archaically it is known as 'ethyl alcohol'. Casually by humans as just 'alcohol' 'Ethanol' is the modern IUPAC nomenclature name. Here are two or three others to compare. Methanol = methyl alcohol ( H-CH2-OH ) Propanol = propyl alcohol. (CH3-CH2-CH2-OH) NB THe general formula for alcohols is ' R-CH2OH ' , Where 'R' is the rest of the organic molecule . DO NEITHER write it as R-CH3O' NOR 'R-COH3 ' The above is the IUPAC's Internationally preferred form.
