Empirical And molecular formula• Empirical formula is the simplest formula which gives only the ratio of different elements
present in the compound.
• Molecular formula is the actual formula that gives the exact number of different elements
present in the sample.
• Eg: the empirical formula of glucose is 𝑪𝑯𝟐 O
• Its molecular formula is 𝑪𝟔 𝑯𝟏𝟐 𝑶𝟔 .
• By knowing the percentage composition, we can calculate the empirical and molecular
formula of a compound.
