"Carbohydrates" are any organic compound with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n (where m could be different from n); that is, consists only of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, with a hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water). Carbohydrates can be viewed as hydrates of carbon, hence their name.The term is most common in biochemistry, where it is a synonym of saccharide. Since many different molecules are classified as carbohydrates, there is no single name for "the carbohydrate molecule."
Alcohol itself is not an element so it has no single symbol. The characteristic of an alcohol is OH, i.e. oxygen (O) combined with hydrogen (H), so every molecule with a OH part in it you call an alcohol. E.g. ethanol the most common alcohol is ethane with instead of a H a OH part.There are many chemical forms of alcohol, but the most common which is used in drinks is ethyl alcohol C2H5OH.Methylated spirits is ethyl alcohol to which a small percentage of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) is added to poison it to discourage its consumption.
Alcohols can be shortened to ROH but more often CnH2n+1OH.
In organic chemistry naming conventions, carbohydrates have -ose as the suffix.
Carbohydrates, Fats, and Oils have in common with each other because all three of them are lipids that store energy.

Common ways of measuring carbohydrates include grams and calories. So, if you have 3 grams of carbohydrates you have 3 grams of carbohydrates or 12 calories worth of carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates and fiber can be found in bread, rice and pasta.
The most common molecule on earth is SiO2.
