The formula C2H6O describes a molecule made of 2 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. It is written in Hill notation: carbon first, then hydrogen, then the other elements in alphabetical order. The formula tells you which atoms are present, not how they are connected, which is why several different chemicals can share it.
