* Two carbon atoms (C)
* Six hydrogen atoms (H)
* One oxygen atom (O)
These atoms are arranged in a specific way:
* The two carbon atoms are linked together.
* One carbon atom is bonded to three hydrogen atoms.
* The other carbon atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
* The oxygen atom is bonded to one hydrogen atom.
This arrangement can be represented by the following structural formula:
CH3CH2OH
Here's a breakdown:
* CH3: Represents the first carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms.
* CH2: Represents the second carbon atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms.
* OH: Represents the oxygen atom bonded to one hydrogen atom.
This structure is also sometimes represented with a more visual diagram, showing the arrangement of the atoms and bonds:
