How do you know if a formula is an empirical formula?
An empirical formula has no data about the structure of a compound.
What is the empirical formula of MgO?
MgO is an ionic compound and all the ionic compounds are represented by their emperical formula because actual no of atoms can not be represented due to a very huge crystal formation.(crystal lattice).
Would ionic or covalent molecules use the molecular formula or empirical formula?
What you write for an ionic compound is called the formula unit, but the formula unit is almost always the same as the empirical formula. The answer to your question could not be the molecular formula because an ionic compound is not a molecule.
Which could represent the empirical and the formula of a given compound?
The empirical formula is representative for the chemical composition of a compound; the structural formula is representative for the spatial structure of the compound.
The formula of a compound with the smallest ratios is called?
The formula of a compound with the smallest ratios is called the empirical formula. It represents the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The lowest whole number ratio of the elements in a compound is called the?
An empirical formula refers to the chemical formula that indicates the simplest ratio of atoms in a compound. Two different compounds may have the same empirical formula.

What is the empirical formula for a compound whose molecular formula is C2Cl6?
The empirical formula for a compound is the simplest whole number ratio of the elements present in the compound. In this case, the empirical formula for a compound with a molecular formula of C2Cl6 is CH3Cl.
The formula of a compound with the smallest ratios is called?
The formula of a compound with the smallest ratios is called the empirical formula. It represents the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.
What represent a molecular compound?
This is the chemical formula (empirical formula) or the formula unit of this compound.
Can the empirical formula of a compound be triple its molecular formula?
No, the empirical formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound, while the molecular formula shows the actual number of each element present in a compound. Therefore, the empirical formula cannot be triple the molecular formula.
What is the lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound called?
an empirical formula For an ionic compound, the empirical formula is called a formula unit.
What the empirical formula for c12h12?
CH will be the empirical formula and C12H12 will be the molecular formula
How do you know when to solve for a empirical formula?
You should solve for an empirical formula when you are given the percent composition of elements in a compound or when you have the molar mass of the compound but not the molecular formula. The empirical formula provides the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.
