the empirical formula
Emperical formula give the smallest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
there are 3 elements
There are number of compounds made up of covalent bonds. for example water, protiens, silica and etc.
It tells you what type of bonding whether; Ionic, Metallic, Covalent Network or Molecular Covalent. It tells you the elements that make up the compound. It also tells you the stage of matter; solid, liquid or gas. And since you known the elements you can find out really anything you want to know about it like; # of protons, # of neutrons, mass number, atomic weight, reactivity, etc.

the empirical formula
A compound number is a less well-known term for a composite number. The smallest such number is 4.
The chemical formula of a compound shows the number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of the compound. The smallest unit is a molecule for covalently bonded compounds and the minimum number of each of the right kinds of atoms to achieve electro-neutrality for ionically bonded compounds.

Four
the number of the elements that is present in a compound
It tells you what type of bonding whether; Ionic, Metallic, Covalent Network or Molecular Covalent. It tells you the elements that make up the compound. It also tells you the stage of matter; solid, liquid or gas. And since you known the elements you can find out really anything you want to know about it like; # of protons, # of neutrons, mass number, atomic weight, reactivity, etc.
