The empirical formula of glucose is the formula which has the lowest ratio. You can divide all three elements by 6 to give: CH2O.
Ch2o
All carbohydrates have this empirical formula. CH2O
CH2O is not only the empirical but also the molecular formula for formaldehye. It is also the empirical but not the molecular formula for hydroxyacetaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl formate, 1,3-dihydroxyacetone, and many other compounds.
Empirical formula is a useless notion; important is the molecular formula.
CH2O because you have to divide by the number they all have in common which is 6

The empirical formula is similar.

This is an empirical formula - a formula without indication about the structure of the molecule.
Yes, it is possible for an empirical formula to be the same as the molecular formula. For example, Lactic acid's molecular formula is C3H6O3, which would make its empirical formula CH2O.
The molecular mass of a compound with the formula CH2O is approx. 30, not 120.

No? Consider starch and cellulose; same formula extremely different properties.
