Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, is a colorless, flammable, and highly volatile liquid alcohol with the chemical formula CH3OH. It is the simplest alcohol, consisting of a methyl group (CH3) linked to a hydroxyl group (OH). Methanol is commonly used as a solvent, fuel, and antifreeze agent. It is also used in the production of formaldehyde and other chemicals, and as a feedstock for the production of other substances such as olefins and biodiesel. Methanol is toxic and can be fatal if ingested or inhaled in high concentrations.
