Is the formula for methane both a molecular and an empirical formula?

Yes, the formula for methane (CH4) is both a molecular formula and an empirical formula. The molecular formula shows the actual number of each atom in a molecule (4 hydrogen atoms and 1 carbon atom), while the empirical formula gives the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound (CH4).


What molecular formulas are also an empirical formula?

Molecular formulas that are also empirical formulas include compounds like water (H2O), methane (CH4), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In these cases, the molecular formula is the same as the empirical formula because the compounds consist of only one type of atom.


What molecular formulas are an empirical formula?

Any molecular formula where the subscripts do not have a common factor that can divide them all. For example: CH4 (methane) is a molecular formula that is also an empirical formula because there is no number (other then one) that can divide both the 4 and the 1. Take ethane as another example. It hasn't the empirical formula which is similar to the molecular formula.


What is the empirical formula of C10H4?

What the empirical formula for c12h12?

What is the relationship between empirical formula and formula unit?

A formula unit is an empirical formula.


What is the empirical formula of azulene?

It has a molecular formula of C10H8 so that would make an empirical formula of C5H4.


What empirical formula of sodium nitrate?

In this instance, the empirical formula is the same as the formula unit: NaNO3


What is the emperical formula of water?

How do you know if a formula is an empirical formula?

An empirical formula has no data about the structure of a compound.


Empirical formula for potassium manganate?

The empirical formula for potassium manganate is KMnO4.


Is the number of atoms in a molecular formula always greater than a empirical?

No. A molecular formula can be the same as the empirical formula, such as CH4 (methane), because the two component atoms exist in a ratio that cannot be mathematically further broken down - one carbon to four hydrogens. In this case the molecular formula (the actual number of atoms per molecule), and the empirical formula (the simplest ratio of those numbers) is identical. On the other hand, ethane, C2H6 - two carbons to 6 hydrogens - has a molecular formula of C2H6 and a empirical formula of CH3, the ratio of 2 to 6 reduced to its simplest whole number form. Sooooooooooo, the molecular formula will always be equal to or greater than the empirical formula, and the empirical formula will always be equal to or less than the molecular formula. In other words (as if that wasn't enough), the molecular formula will never be less than the empirical formula and the empirical formula will never be greater than the molecular formula, but THE TWO CAN BE EQUAL. Whew!!! Ray
