The chemical formula of a molecular compound shows the numbers and types of atoms that are covalently bonded to form the compound. A few examples follow: Water H2O is formed from 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Carbon Monoxide CO is formed from one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. Carbon Dioxide CO2 is formed from one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Sulfur Trioxide SO3 is formed from one sulfur atom and three oxygen atoms. Methane CH4 is formed from one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.

∙ 12y agoit shows how many of the elements their are in the compound and the name i think.
EX: photosynthesis formula
6CO2 + 6H20 -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
6 carbon dioxide + 6 water -> 1 glucose + 6 oxygen
The C stands for carbon, and the O2 stands for 2 oxygen atoms

What information is given by a molecular formula?
the empirical formula and the molar mass
What is the molecular formula of the compound CH2 with molar mass = 42.0?
The molecular formula of a compound can not be determined solely based on its molar mass. In this case, without additional information, it is not possible to determine the molecular formula of the compound CH2.
The empirical formula of a compound is CH2O The molar mass of the compound is 180 g What is the molecular formula for this compound?
C6h12o6
Is KCL a molecular formula?
More correct KCl is the formula unit of potassium chloride.
Is phenolphthalein a compound?
Yes, phenolphthalein is a compound with the molecular formula C20H14O4.
What information is given by a molecular formula?
the empirical formula and the molar mass
Is the formula NH4Br a molecular compound?
No; the compound with the formula NH4Br is an ionic compound.
Describe the differences between molecular formulas and structural formulas for molecular compounds?
A molecular formula lists the numbers of the atoms of a specific element in a compound. A structural formula is a picture of how the atoms in a specific molecule are connected, with each atom represented by its chemical symbol. For example, oxygen's molecular formula is O2. Its structural formula is O-O.
What formula represents a molecular compound?
Organic formula is a formula that shows an organic compound and its molecular arrangement.
What represent a molecular compound?
This is the chemical formula (empirical formula) or the formula unit of this compound.
Is nitrogen monoxide a molecular compound?
Yes, nitrogen monoxide is a molecular compound with a formula of NO.
Can the empirical formula of a compound be triple its molecular formula?
No: The molecular formula is never smaller than the empirical formula.
Does ethanol have a compound?
Ethanol is a compound. Its molecular formula is C2H5OH.
The empirical formula of a compound is ch2its molecular mass is 70 gmol what is its molecular formula?
C5h10
What is the molecular formula of the compound CH2 with molar mass = 42.0?
The molecular formula of a compound can not be determined solely based on its molar mass. In this case, without additional information, it is not possible to determine the molecular formula of the compound CH2.
What is the molecular formula of a compound given that molar mass of the compound is 30.04 gram and the empirical formula is NH?
The molecular formula of this compound is N2H2. This is obvious because the empirical formula of a compound is the lowest positive integer ratio of atoms present.
