Chemical Formula - Molecula, Empirical and Structural

This tells us the number of atoms of each element in a compound. It contains the symbols of the atoms of the elements present in the compound, as well as the number of atoms for each element in the form of subscripts.

(a)  

This is the true chemical formula.

It gives the symbol and actual number of atoms of each element

uses subscript to show the number of atoms.
