It is an empirical formula.
A formula unit is an empirical formula.
An empirical formula has no data about the structure of a compound.
C5H6O is the empirical formula for Cortisol.
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.
The requirements for an empirical formula are that it give the correct ratios between all pairs of atoms in the actual molecule and have subscripts (including the value 1 implied by lack of an explicit subscript) with the lowest possible values to achieve all the correct ratios. To meet the latter condition, either one subscript must be one or the two smallest subscripts must be distinct prime number. The formula of the compound given has only one prime number subscript, 5. If all subscripts in the molecular formula are divided by the same number to yield an integral quotient, the resulting formula will still be empirically correct. In the given molecular formula, all the subscripts are integrally divisible by 5. Therefore, the empirical formula is CH3O2.
The chemical formula of ethylamine is C2H7N.
