Methanol alcohol molecule
Methanol alcohol molecule. Molecular model of methanol, the simplest alcohol with just one carbon atom (grey). It is a flammable, light, colourless liquid, which is poisonous and causes blindness if ingested. Its main uses are as an organic solvent (a liquid that dissolves many other substances resulting in a solution), as a fuel and as a component in the chemical formulation of biodiesel fuel. Atoms are colour-coded: hydrogen (white), oxygen (red) and carbon (grey)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a methanol alcohol molecule. With just one carbon atom at its core, this molecular model represents the simplest form of alcohol. The grey carbon atom stands out against the white hydrogen atoms and red oxygen atoms, creating a visually striking composition. Methanol, also known as wood alcohol or methyl alcohol, is a flammable and colorless liquid with various applications. However, it should be handled with caution as it is poisonous and can cause blindness if ingested. Despite its potential dangers, methanol finds use as an organic solvent that dissolves many substances to create solutions. Moreover, this compound serves as a fuel source and plays a crucial role in the chemical formulation of biodiesel fuel. Its volatile nature makes it highly effective for these purposes. The ball-and-stick illustration beautifully captures the covalent bonding between atoms within the methanol molecule. The hydroxyl group (OH) adds complexity to its structure while highlighting its unique properties. Displayed by Science Photo Library, this artful representation not only celebrates chemistry but also reminds us of the beauty found within scientific structures. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly simple molecules hold immense importance in our world's chemical makeup and industrial processes
