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 .
