No: The formula NO shows equal numbers of nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the compound, but the formula NO2 shows twice as many oxygen atoms as nitrogen atoms.

What is the empirical formula for nitrogen dioxide?
The empirical formula for nitrogen dioxide is the same as its molecular formula - NO2. See related question below for more details on how to find empirical formulas.
It is possible for different covalent compounds to have the same empirical formula because empirical formulas represent?
Empirical formulas represent the simplest component of a molecule.
What is the empirical formula stannic nitrite?
Sn(NO2)4
What is n2o5 formula is empirical formulas?
Assuming you came upon the empirical formula by chemical analysis, the molecular formula would be a multiple of (NO2)n. The vale for n (1, 2, 3 etc) would need to be established by investigation. In this case the molecular formula is N2O4. This molecule is in equilbrium with the monomer NO2. N2O4 is the more common species at low temperatures and is the form found in the solid. NO2 is paramagnetic as it has one unpaired electron.
Formaldehyde and acetic acid have the same empirical formula but different?
These two compounds has different molecular formulas.

What nitrogen oxides have the same empirical formula?
NO2 and N2O4
What is the Molar mass of empirical formula NO2?
The empirical mass of NO is 14 + 16 = 30 Divide 138 / 30 ~ = 4.5. The fact that the numbers are not whole number would suggest that the empirical formula is incorrect. However, if we use say NO2 as the empirical formula , then the empirical mass is 14 + 16 + 16 = 46 divide 138 /46 = 3 So NO2 has a formula of N3O6 . This substance does not exist, So it would suggest that the formula is 3NO2 (3/2)N2O4 . I would suggest that the original empirical formula is incorrect. and that the substance is either nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or dinitrogen tetroxide N2O4.

How is molecular formula C3H6 and molecular formula C6H12 related?
Both formulas are possible molecular formulas for the same empirical formula, CH2.
Formaldehyde and acetic acid have the same empirical formula but different?
These two compounds has different molecular formulas.
Nitrogen dioxide would have which of the following formulas?
NO2
Is it possible for different covalent compounds to have the same empirical formula?
Yes. They would just have different molecular formulas
What is Na2S2O4 formula is empirical formulas?
NaSO2
Why do you use both empirical and molecular formula?
Molecular formulas are used the most often, but empirical formulas do help at times. Often it's just to simplify the molecular formula, but this simplification can often tell you if it's in the same chemical family as other compounds and such.
