What is the molecular formula of a compound given that molar mass of the compound is 30.04 gram and the empirical formula is NH?
The molecular formula of this compound is N2H2. This is obvious because the empirical formula of a compound is the lowest positive integer ratio of atoms present.
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.
Is the formula NH4Br a molecular compound?
No; the compound with the formula NH4Br is an ionic compound.
Can the empirical formula of a compound be triple its molecular formula?
No: The molecular formula is never smaller than the empirical formula.
What is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule?
molecular mass
What formula represents the binary molecular compound phosphorus trichloride?
Phosphorus trichloride is represented by the formula PCl3.
Would ionic or covalent molecules use the molecular formula or empirical formula?
What you write for an ionic compound is called the formula unit, but the formula unit is almost always the same as the empirical formula. The answer to your question could not be the molecular formula because an ionic compound is not a molecule.

No; the compound with the formula NH4Br is an ionic compound.
What formula represents a molecular compound?
Organic formula is a formula that shows an organic compound and its molecular arrangement.
Nitric oxide is represented by the molecular formula?
NO
What represent a molecular compound?
This is the chemical formula (empirical formula) or the formula unit of this compound.
The term formula mass can be applied to ionic compound and molecular compuonds because?
The term formula mass is generally defined as the mass of a unit cell in an ionic compound. Molecular compounds are just defined in terms of molecular mass.
Is nitrogen monoxide a molecular compound?
Yes, nitrogen monoxide is a molecular compound with a formula of NO.
Can the empirical formula of a compound be triple its molecular formula?
No: The molecular formula is never smaller than the empirical formula.
What is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule?
molecular mass
