Question

what is the difference between molecular and chemical formula.?

Answer 1

Answer:

A chemical formula is not a chemical name, and it contains no words. Although a chemical formula may imply certain simple chemical structures, it is not the same as a full chemical structural formula. ... Molecular formulae indicate the simple numbers of each type of atom in a molecule, with no information on structure.

Answer 2

Answer:

Many people use these terms interchangeably, although technically a chemical formula is a more general term that can be applied to inorganic compounds, acids/bases, salts, molecules, etc. and a molecular formula should be applied only to molecules (covalently bonded materials).
