EMPIRICAL FORMULA
A chemical formula that indicates the relative proportions of the elements in a molecule rather than
the actual number of atoms of the elements.(An empirical formula may be obtained from percentage
composition of elements in a compound.)
MOLECULAR FORMULA
A chemical formula that indicates the actual number of atoms of the elements in a molecule.
(Information in addition to percentage composition of elements is needed to determine a molecular formula.)
