A knowledge of electronic configurations would lead you to predict that H2O is the empirical formula for water Why?

hahaha i have this exact question in my chemistry book. An empirical formula is a chemical formula showing the ratio of elements in a compound rather than the total number of atoms. Therefore, the formula H2O is an empircal formula as it shows that to each Oxygen, there are two hydrogens. I hope that helps, good luck with your VCE.
