Question

differnce btween emperical formula and molecular formula

Answer 1

Answer:

Molecular Formula :-

->The molecular formula is the formula derived from molecules and is representative of the total number of individual atoms present in a molecule of a compound.

->A molecular formula uses a subscript that reports the actual number of each type of atom in a molecule of the compound.

->Molecular formulas are associated with gram molecular masses that are simple whole number multiples of the corresponding empirical formula mass.

Empirical Formula :-

->The empirical formula is the simplest formula for a compound which is defined as the ratio of subscripts of the smallest possible whole number of the elements present in the formula. It is also known as the simplest formula.

->An empirical formula for a compound is the formula of a substance written with the smallest integer subscript.

->The empirical formula gives information about the ratio of numbers of atoms in the compound. The percent composition of a compound directly leads to its empirical formula.
