What term is used for molecules that have identical molecular formulas but the atoms in each molecule are arranged differently?
Molecules that have identical molecular formulas but the atoms in each molecule are arranged differently are called isomers.
Which of the following represents a molecular compound Xe ZnO SO2 BeF2?
ZnO, SO2 andBeF2 aremolecular formulas.
What is the compound of c6 h8 06?
The problem with giving molecular formulas for organic compounds is that it could be lots of different things. Nothing with that particular molecular formula is leaping to mind as a most likely candidate.
Two compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas are?
Two compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas are isomers of each other.
What does a structural formula depict that a molecular formula does not?
Structural formulas show a representation of the molecular structure, while chemical formulas do not. This is especially important when multiple compounds have the same chemical formula, but a different molecular structure.

Molecules that have identical molecular formulas but the atoms in each molecule are arranged differently are called isomers.
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.
How are empirical and molecular formulas for a compound created?
An empirical formula is elaborated after the chemical analysis of a compound; for a structural formula more in depth studies are necessary.
How are empirical and molecular formulas for a compound relation?
A molecular formula is identical to the empirical formula, and is based on quantity of atoms of each type in the compound.The relationship between empirical and molecular formula is that the empirical formula is the simplest formula, and the molecular can be the same as the empirical, or some multiple of it. An example might be an empirical formula of C3H8. Its molecular formula may be C3H8 , C6H16, C9H24, etc. Looking at it the other way, if the molecular formula is C6H12O6, the empirical formula would be CH2O.

Why some compound do not have molecular formula?
Once you get into the realm of compounds you are really looking at two types---ionic and molecular. Molecular compounds are made up of all the same type of molecule, and those molecules consist of a series of atoms covalently bonded together. The molecular formula of a molecular compound gives the number of each type of atom that makes up the molecule. Ionic compounds are different---there are no definable molecules present, just lattices of alternating positive and negative ions (charged atoms). So unlike molecular compounds there is no definable subunit in an ionic compound. Instead ionic compounds are represented by the simplest ratio of ions in the compound. For instance, in table salt there is one sodium ion per chlorine ion so the formula is NaCl. that does not mean there are little NaCl molecules making up the compound, just that the ratio of those two ions is 1:1. In calcium chloride there are two chloride ions for every calcium ion, so its formula is CaCl2. So the simple answe to the question is that molecular formulas are not used for ionic compounds because they are not comprised of molecules. That does not keep people (even chemists) from referring to the formulas of ionic compounds as "molecular formulas" but it is technically a misnomer. Simply calling them "formulas" or "ionic formulas" would be more appropriate.

An ionic compound is not represented by a molecular formula because an ionic compound?
Ionic compounds are conventionally represented by chemical formulas; but after contemporary knowledge ionic compounds have complex, long chain molecules.
How is molecular formula C3H6 and molecular formula C6H12 related?
Both formulas are possible molecular formulas for the same empirical formula, CH2.
What is the molecular formulas for methane?
CH4
