What photograph shows is Ethanol molecule and its formula is CH3CH2OH or C2H6O as an empirical formula. In our opinion, there are three types of molecule structure that makes up ethanol and there are linear structure, bent or V-shaped structure, and one trigonal pyramid. While oxygen and hydrogen atoms are bonded together to form linear structure, 3 hydrogen atoms bonding with one carbon atom produced similar structure of trigonal pyramid. Lastly, bent or V-shaped structure is based on two hydrogen atoms bonding with one carbon atom. Therefore, we think that three structures single bonding each other forms ethanol molecule.
