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 theU.S. has been largely phased out.

Ethanal contains CH3CO group.So, it gives positive iodoform test whereas methanal doesnot give iodoform test. This conversation is already closed by Expert.
