two examples of molecules having molecular formula same as empherical formula
Answers
Answer:
Many compounds may have the same empirical formula. For example, formaldehyde, each molecule of which consists of one carbon atom, two hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom, has the molecular formula CH 2O, which is identical to the empirical formula of glucose.

Answer:
there are many of them:
Explanation:
1. H2O
2. CH4
3.CO2
4.NH3
5.PO4
6.H2S
etc..... hope you got the idea.
you can easily say that one compounds' empirical and molecular formula are same if they have already been to the lowest common factor possible.
let me explain. e.g.
H2O
as they have ratio 2:1 that is already simplified.
if we take wrong example that is H2O2
then
ratio is 2:2 that can be further simplified to 1:1 and hence becomes wrong example.
hope you got it.
