#Ethanol (#C2H5OH) is consisting of two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and one hydroxyl group (OH). The molecule features a central carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms and another carbon atom, which is bonded to two more hydrogen atoms and one hydroxyl group. The carbon atoms are sp3 hybridized, adopting a tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of approximately 109.5 degrees around each #carbon. The hydroxyl group is attached to the terminal carbon, where the oxygen atom is #sp3 hybridized, creating a bent shape with a bond angle around 104.5 degrees between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The molecule’s overall #3D structure exhibits a linear arrangement of the ethyl group with the hydroxyl group extending outward.
