Does C2H4O represent aldehyde?

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.
