Methyl alcohol is ............. toxic than ethanol.

Explanation

To fill in the blank in the statement "Methyl alcohol is ............. toxic than ethanol," we need to analyze the properties of methyl alcohol (methanol) and ethanol.

1. **Understanding the Compounds**:
- Methyl alcohol, also known as methanol, is a simple alcohol with the chemical formula CH₃OH.
- Ethanol, or ethyl alcohol, is the type of alcohol commonly found in alcoholic beverages, with the chemical formula C₂H₅OH.

2. **Toxicity Comparison**:
- Methanol is known to be highly toxic. When ingested, it is metabolized in the liver to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, both of which are highly toxic compounds.
