Ethanol molecule
Ethanol. Computer-generated molecular model of ethanol (CH3.CH2.OH), a type of alcohol. Alcohols comprise a carbon (black) and hydrogen (white) chain with a hydroxyl group (OH). The oxygen atom is red. Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is produced by the fermentation of sugar by yeast in alcoholic drinks. It is manufactured for use as a fuel, and as a solvent in industry and in laboratories

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated molecular model of the ethanol molecule, also known as ethyl alcohol. The intricate structure reveals the composition of this organic compound found in alcoholic drinks and used extensively in various industries. Alcohols like ethanol consist of a chain of carbon atoms represented by black spheres, interspersed with white spheres representing hydrogen atoms. The distinctive hydroxyl group (OH) is depicted as an eye-catching red sphere, denoting the presence of oxygen. With its artistic representation and attention to detail, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of ethanol's chemical makeup. Beyond its role as a popular intoxicant produced through yeast fermentation of sugar, ethanol serves multiple purposes. It finds application as a fuel source for vehicles and machinery while also serving as an essential solvent in industrial processes and laboratory experiments. The image emphasizes how chemistry plays a crucial role in our daily lives by visually illustrating the structural complexity that underlies such compounds. By employing ball-and-stick models alongside computer graphics, it brings to life the bonds between atoms within this addictive substance. Displayed here courtesy of Science Photo Library, this thought-provoking print invites viewers to appreciate both the aesthetic beauty and scientific significance inherent in understanding molecules like ethanol.
