This term was initially used for ethane C2H6.
The molecular formula for a compound consisting of carbon and fluorine can vary depending on the specific compound. For example, the simplest binary compound is carbon tetrafluoride, which has the molecular formula CF₄. Another example is carbon difluoride, with the formula CF₂. The specific formula will depend on the ratio of carbon to fluorine in the compound being considered.
CI4
The compound formula of carbon and sulfur is CS. It is a molecular compound formed by the combination of one carbon atom and one sulfur atom.
Carbon tetrahydride is a compound because it is made up of multiple elements (carbon and hydrogen) chemically bonded together. Each carbon tetrahydride molecule is made up of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.
Carbon dioxide is a molecular compound with the formula CO2
The general formula for a carbon hydride is CₙH₂ₙ₊₂, where "n" represents the number of carbon atoms in the compound. This formula indicates that for every carbon atom, there are two additional hydrogen atoms.
This molecular formula is C9H12.
There is NO compound possible with formula CC1 or CCl
CCL2 is molecular. It is the chemical formula for a molecule of carbon tetrachloride, which is a covalent compound composed of nonmetals.
Since carbon monoxide is not an ionic compound it technically doesn't have an ionic formula. The molecular formula for carbon monoxide is CO
The number of carbon atoms in a compound depends on the molecular formula of the compound. To calculate the number of carbon atoms, you can look at the subscript of carbon in the molecular formula. For example, in glucose (C6H12O6), there are 6 carbon atoms.
To find the molecular formula from the empirical formula (C2H5), we need to know the molecular mass of the compound. Since the formula implies a molecular mass of 29 g/mol (12 g/mol for carbon and 1 g/mol for hydrogen), if we divide the molecular mass of the compound by the empirical formula mass (C2H5 = 212 + 51 = 29 g/mol), we find that the molecular formula is the same as the empirical formula, C2H5.
