Methanol and ethanol are variants of alcohol, and they have different properties and uses. Methanol is a poisonous chemical derived through synthetic processes, while commercial ethanol is produced by factory fermentation of food crops.

Both substances can be used as energy sources, but methanol serves mainly as a subject of research and its use as a motor fuel in the U.S. has been largely phased out. Ethanol's role is currently larger, though its future as an automobile fuel remains uncertain

Methanol contains one carbon atom …CH3OH

Ethanol contains two carbon atom....C2H5OH
