Ethanol and methoxymethane molecules
Ethanol and methoxymethane molecules. Molecular models of ethanol (CH3.CH2.OH, left) and methoxymethane (CH3.O.CH3). Both compounds contain the same atoms but in different arrangements. Carbon is black, hydrogen is white and oxygen 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 starting chemical for many other compounds. Methoxymethane (dimethyl ether) is used as an aerosol propellant and a fuel

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular models of ethanol and methoxymethane, two organic compounds with identical atoms arranged differently. The carbon atoms are represented by black spheres, hydrogen by white, and oxygen by red. Ethanol (CH3. CH2. OH), commonly known as ethyl alcohol, is produced through yeast fermentation of sugar in alcoholic beverages. However, its applications extend beyond drinks; it serves as a fuel source and a fundamental building block for numerous other chemical compounds. On the other hand, methoxymethane (CH3. O. CH3), also referred to as dimethyl ether, finds utility as an aerosol propellant and fuel. This compound shares the same atoms as ethanol but features an alternate structural arrangement. The intricate bond formations depicted in this image offer valuable insights into the fascinating world of organic chemistry. Molecular structures are visualized using ball-and-stick models that vividly illustrate how atoms connect to form compounds. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable print that not only highlights the beauty of these molecules but also provides a glimpse into their significance within various industries. It's worth noting that while both ethanol and methoxymethane have commercial applications such as fuel usage or aerosol propellants, this caption focuses solely on their scientific properties rather than any specific commercial use cases associated with them.
