C2h5oh
Ethyl alcohol - ethanol - is a pure alcohol that is volatile and flammable. It has the structural formula of C2H6O.
H20
The structural formulas for the propyl alcohol isomers are as follows: n-propyl alcohol (1-propanol): CH3CH2CH2OH or C3H8O Isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol): (CH3)2CHOH or C3H8O These structural formulas represent the arrangement of atoms in the molecule of each isomer.
Structural formulas are used primarily for organic compounds for which molecular formulas correspond to more than one isomer, or for chemical discussions in which the shapes of molecules are important, such as crystallography.
Simplified structural formulas represent the arrangement of atoms in a molecule using lines to indicate bonds, often omitting hydrogen atoms and other less critical details for clarity. In contrast, full structural formulas provide a complete depiction of all atoms, including hydrogen and the precise connections between atoms, offering a more detailed view of the molecule's structure. This makes full structural formulas useful for understanding the molecule's geometry and reactivity, while simplified formulas are beneficial for quick visualization and communication.
Two compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas are isomers. Isomers are compounds with the same number and types of atoms but arranged differently. An example is ethanol (C2H6O) and dimethyl ether (C2H6O), both have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.

Molecular formulas contain no information about the arrangement of atoms. Because of this, one molecular formula can describe a number of different chemical structures. A structural formula is used to indicate not only the number of atoms, but also their arrangement in space.
The structural formula CH3CH2OH describes ETHANOL.
Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. This means they have the same number of atoms of each element but arranged in a different way. Isomers can have different physical and chemical properties as a result of their different structures.
The structural formula ROH represents an alcohol molecule, where R represents an alkyl group and OH represents a hydroxyl group. The hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to the carbon atom in the alkyl group (R), indicating the presence of an alcohol functional group.
