  Ethanol Ethanol is a chemical compound with the formula C2H5OH. It is a colorless, volatile, and flammable liquid that is commonly known as alcohol. Ethanol is the primary alcohol found in alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and spirits. It is produced through the fermentation of sugars by yeast or other microorganisms. Ethanol has a wide range of applications, including as a solvent, fuel, disinfectant, and in the production of various products such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care items. It is also used as a biofuel and as an additive in gasoline to reduce emissions. Ethanol has psychoactive effects when consumed in alcoholic beverages and is regulated for its consumption and sale in many countries. Chemical formula of ethanol The chemical formula of ethanol is C2H5OH. It consists of two carbon atoms (C2), six hydrogen atoms (H5), and one oxygen atom (O). The molecular formula represents the composition and arrangement of atoms in a molecule of ethanol.

  Organic compounds and their differences form inorganic compounds Organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon atoms bonded with other elements such as hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), and halogens (such as chlorine and bromine). They form the basis of organic chemistry, which is the study of carbon-containing compounds. The key characteristic that sets organic compounds apart from inorganic compounds is the presence of carbon. Carbon has a unique ability to form strong covalent bonds with other carbon atoms and a wide range of other elements, resulting in a vast number of organic compounds with diverse structures and properties. In contrast, inorganic compounds are typically derived from minerals and do not contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds. Inorganic compounds can still contain carbon, but they often have a different composition and bonding pattern than organic compounds. Examples of inorganic compounds include minerals, salts, metals, and nonmetals

  Introduction to carbon Carbon is a chemical element with the symbol "C" and atomic number 6. It is a nonmetal that belongs to Group 14 of the periodic table. Carbon is incredibly versatile and plays a fundamental role in the chemistry of life. It is the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass and is an essential building block for all known living organisms. Carbon atoms have six protons and typically six neutrons in their nucleus, giving them an atomic mass of around 12 atomic mass units. Carbon has a unique ability to form stable covalent bonds with other carbon atoms and a wide variety of other elements. This property allows for the formation of a vast number of carbon compounds, making carbon the basis of organic chemistry. Carbon exists in various forms or allotropes, including diamond, graphite, and fullerenes. Each allotrope has distinct physical and chemical properties due to different arrangements of carbon atoms and bonding patterns. For example
