Charge: $$1+$$, Electrons: $$10$$

Question 12

Which of the following best describes the difference between a molecular formula and an empirical formula?

Accepted Answer

A molecular formula shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule, while an empirical formula shows the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms.
