WHAT IS THE CHEMICAL FORMULAS FOR ALCOHOL?
it depends of the kind of alcohol,there are primary alcohol(R-CH2OH), secondary alcohol, tertiary alcohol etc. but we can identify an alcohol by the chemical formula:R-OHEthanol (drinking alcohol )or Ethyl alcoholC2H5OHIsopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) CH3-CH(OH)-CH3Formula: R-OHWhere R is is an carbon containing organic groupyou get drunk
To be classified as organic a chemical's molecules must be?
A molecule is deemed and termed to be organic if it contains Carbon and hydrogen. Methane [CH4] is the simplest example. Carbon forms chains i.e. -C-C-C-C- etc, and has room for two side branches 'to boot!' Organic chemistry is the basis for Biochemistry.

What is alcohol-?
Alcohol is the common name for a family of organic (carbon based) compounds with a structure of an alkane (Carbon-Hydrogen) base with an OH (Oxygen-Hydrogen) addition. The simplest and most commonly known are: Methyl Alcohol or Methanol (C2H3OH) - wood alcohol which is marketed as Methylated Spirits, a common fuel and cleaner; and Ethyl Alcohol or Ethanol (C2H5OH) in alcoholic drinks such as beer, wines and spirits. There are many other forms of alcohol with carbon chains and cyclic structures, with up to 20 or more carbon atoms per molecule.
