The chemical name for ethanol is Ethyl Alcohol or Ethan-1-ol and it is member of the alcohol family. The chemical formula for ethanol can be written as C2H5OH, or as the alternative notation, CH3-CH2-OH. The latter expression tells you it's a straight-chain molecule, and it is also an expression of its structural formula.
It's possible to write C2H6O, but that's an empirical formula. With only that, you'd be unable to tell ethanol from dimethyl ether, its isomer, as they are both written that way.
Now you know what's in this compound and how the molecule is shaped. More can be learned by using the link to the Wikipedia article. It's posted below.
