Here is a short answer: an ethanol molecule is made of two carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and six hydrogen atoms. The short chemical formula is then C2H60.
The chemical formula CH3CH2OH is more descriptive, because it conveys the information that at one end of the molecule there is a carbon atom with bonds to three hydrogens, while at the other end there is an OH (hydronium) group. Between the ends is a single CH2 set.

What else can I help you with?
Does lithium contain ethanol?
Question is not clearly stated. Lithium is a mineral (and appears on the Periodic Table of Elements), while Ethanol is alcohol produced by chemical distillation
Pure substances made from only one type of atom are?
This would be called an element, or a mono-atomic compound.
Is ethanol a compound or element?
Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is a compound comprised of three different elements, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Any substance that chemically combines two or more elements is referred to as a compound.
Is rubbing alchohol a element?
no, it's a compound. An element is the smallest unit of a substance in which every piece is the same. Alcohol is not an element because it is made up of different elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Why does ethanol dissolve in water and petrol?
ethanol consists of the polar hydroxyl group and non-polar alkyl grouping, accounting for its solubility in both polar (water) and non-polar (petrol) substances (remember, substances with the same polarity dissolve) miss p is awesome :)
What elements will be present in the substances that are created when ethanol burns?
The products of burning ethanol are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). When ethanol undergoes combustion, it reacts with oxygen to produce these two substances along with heat and light energy.
Does lithium contain ethanol?
Question is not clearly stated. Lithium is a mineral (and appears on the Periodic Table of Elements), while Ethanol is alcohol produced by chemical distillation
What are the chemicals that are present in the mixture of ethanol and water?
Of course, these substances are ethanol and water.
How many elements are there in ethanol?
There are 3 elements in ethanol: Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon.
What happens to the freezing points as the ethanol concentration increased?
The answer depends on the substances in the mixture in which the ethanol concentration increases.
How many element are present in the compound of ethanol?
The elements in ethanol are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What elements are made from Ethanol?
Ethanol is a compound that contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Therefore, these three elements can be obtained from ethanol. However, it is not customary to write that these elements can be "made from ethanol", because the elements are already present in the compound and are simply separated from one another to obtain the pure elements.
Is a compound A. ethanol B. carbon C. helium D. potassium?
Ethanol is a compound. The others are elements.
How do you make 100 percent of ethanol from 80 percent ethanol?
To increase the concentration of ethanol from 80% to 100%, you can use a process called distillation. By distilling the 80% ethanol solution, you can separate the ethanol from the water and other impurities, resulting in a higher concentration of ethanol.
Substances that cannot be broken down into other substances are called?
elements
Substances that cannot be broken down by chemical mean?
Substances that cannot be chemically broken down into simpler substances are called elements.
Are all substances are elements?
Yes my friends. All elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down. However, pure substances aren't all elements.
