What is the empirical formula for the compound with the molecular formula $$C_2H_4$$ ?

The empirical formula is $$CH_2$$ .

What is the empirical formula for the compound with the molecular formula $$C_8H_{18}$$ ?

The empirical formula is $$C_2H_5$$ .

Which of the following is an example of a molecular formula? $$C_6H_{12}O_6$$ , $$CH_2O$$ , $$C_2H_5$$ , $$C_3H_6O_3$$

$$C_6H_{12}O_6$$ is an example of a molecular formula.

Which of the following is an example of an empirical formula? $$C_6H_{12}O_6$$ , $$CH_2O$$ , $$H_2O_2$$ , $$C_2H_4$$

$$CH_2O$$ is an example of an empirical formula.

True or False: The empirical formula is always a multiple of the molecular formula.

False. The molecular formula is always a multiple of the empirical formula.
