Empirical Formula:
\(\bullet\) Empirical formula is the simplest formula.
\(\bullet\) It shows the ratio of number of atoms of different elements in one molecule of the compound.
\(\bullet\) It is calculated from the percentage of composition of the various elements in one molecule.
\(\bullet\) For example, Empirical formula of Benzene = CH.
Molecular Formula:
\(\bullet\) Molecular Formula is the actual formula.
\(\bullet\) It shows the actual number of different types of atoms present in one molecule of the compound.
\(\bullet\) It is calculated from the Empirical formula Molecular Formula = (Empirical formula)n
\(\bullet\) Molecular formula of Benzene = C6H6
