Which formula of a compound has the smallest whole-number mole ratio of elements?
the empirical formula
What is The smallest whole-number ratio of the element in an ionic or covalent bond?
Emperical formula give the smallest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
Which best describes an empirical formula?
the lowest whole number ratio of elements in a compound A+
What is the contrast between molecular formulas and empirical formulas?
The empirical formula of a compound shows the lowest whole number ratio of the elements in that compound; AKA simplest formula. The molecular formula describes the number of atoms of each element that make up the molecule or formula unit; AKA actual formula
What is an empirical formula?
The chemical formula in which the subscripts are given in the smallest ratio.

What is the lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound called?
an empirical formula For an ionic compound, the empirical formula is called a formula unit.
The lowest whole number ratio of the elements in a compound is called the?
An empirical formula refers to the chemical formula that indicates the simplest ratio of atoms in a compound. Two different compounds may have the same empirical formula.
What is the empirical formula of a compound with the molecular formula C6H12O6?
CH2O because you have to divide by the number they all have in common which is 6
What is the contrast between molecular formulas and empirical formulas?

What is an empirical formula?
The chemical formula in which the subscripts are given in the smallest ratio.
How are molecular and empirical formulas related?
An empirical formula may or may not be the same as a molecular formula. The empirical formula of a compound shows the smallest whole-number ratio of the atoms compound. The molecular formula tells the actual number of each kind of atom present in a molecule of the compound.
What is the empirical formula of the compound that is 75 carbon and 25 hydrogen?
The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole number ratio of the elements in the compound. In C75H25, the ratio of carbon to hydrogen is 75:25, which is equal to 3:1. Thus, the empirical formula is C3H.
What information is given by a molecular formula?
the empirical formula and the molar mass
How do ionic compounds and the empirical formula relate?
The formula unit for an ionic compound is similar to an empirical formula in that both give the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
