No. Or, at least, it doesn't exclusively represent "aldehyde", whatever you mean by that.

An aldehyde is a compound containing the moiety -CHO. C2H4O is the empirical formula for ethanal, which is an aldehyde. However, it's also the empirical formula for vinyl alcohol, which is not. It's somewhere between difficult and impossible to say much about a compound based purely on its empirical formula.

What is molecular mass for aldehyde?

The molecular mass of an aldehyde depends on the specific compound. For example, the molecular mass of formaldehyde (CH2O) is 30.03 g/mol, while the molecular mass of acetaldehyde (C2H4O) is 44.05 g/mol. You can calculate the molecular mass by adding up the atomic masses of all the atoms in the compound.
