Ethanol is an alcohol with formula C2H5OH. Ethanol and water are polar molecules containing electronegative elements namely hydrogen, oxygen.
These elements can form intermolecular hydrogen bonding with each other, thus causing solubility of given compound.
Hydrogen bonds are the weak bonds that form between electronegative elements which are nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine.
