A Christmas present For The Chemistry Boffin Who Has Everything.
I want to give a present to my young friend who is studying Chemistry at an Oxford University.
This is what I have to go on:
He spends 90% of his time studying equations.
He has an active Social life which involves lots of drinking.
He always loses his keys.
So, after much thought, I decided to make a key-ring with the molecular formula for alcohol (ethanol ) on it.

That's very nice, I sort of want one. The representation is not advanced-level, so in text-book terms the style would be "retro-" or "old-school".

Thanks for the comments.
Just in case I ever make another one; What is the advanced representation for ethanol?
I can find these C2H5OH or CH3–CH2–OH or C2H6O but I preferred the spread out skeleton representation.
Your advanced level cartoon is a bit simplistic for ethanol (pic) but the method is good for more advanced structures.
CH3CH2OH is a good linear representation.
