The molecular formula of a compound can not be determined solely based on its molar mass. In this case, without additional information, it is not possible to determine the molecular formula of the compound CH2.
the empirical formula and the molar mass
You can't without more information. You cannot go from the molecular weight of a compound to its formula without more information about what atoms it contains.See the Related Questions link to the left for a more detailed discussion of this.
To determine the molecular formula, you would need the molar mass of the compound. With the molar mass, you can calculate the empirical formula mass and then determine the ratio between the empirical formula mass and the molar mass to find the molecular formula.
Without further information, it's not possible to determine the molecular formula of a compound just from its molar mass. Additional details about the elements present and their respective ratios are needed to ascertain the specific molecular formula.
To determine the molecular formula of a compound with a molecular mass of 132 amu, you would need additional information such as the elements present in the compound and their respective atomic masses. Without this information, it is not possible to determine the molecular formula.

To determine the molecular formula of a compound, one must know its molar mass. This information, coupled with the molecular weight of its individual elements, allows for the calculation of the ratio of atoms present in the compound, and subsequently leading to the determination of its molecular formula.

C6H12O3 is a molecular formula that contains 54.5% C, 9.1% H, and 36.4% O and has molar mass of 132 amu.
In addition to the percent by mass of each element, you also need the molar mass of each element. This information allows you to convert the percent by mass into grams and then into moles, which is necessary to determine the empirical formula and subsequently the molecular formula of the compound.
No, molecular formula alone cannot show the difference between isomers. Isomers have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements of atoms. Additional information, such as structural formula or connectivity of atoms, is needed to differentiate between isomers.
In order to find molecular formula from empirical formula, one needs to know the molar mass of the molecular formula. Then you simply divide the molar mass of the molecular formula by the molar mass of the empirical formula to find out how many empirical formulae are in the molecular formula. Then you multiply the subscripts in the empirical formula by that number.
The density or some other information must be given that allow you to find the molar mass. Calculate the empirical formula mass. Divide molar mass by empirical formula mass. This answer is multiplied by all subscripts of the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.
