Answer:
Molecular formula of a compound is always more informative than the empirical formula as the empirical formula can only tell us about the relative ratio in which the atoms have combined.
But the molecular formula tells us the exact number of atoms that have combined to form the compound.
Molecular mass and many other properties cannot be judged just by seeing the empirical formula.
