Answer: False
Explanation:
Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Example: has similar molecular formula and empirical formula as the elements are already present in simplest of the ratios.
has molecular formula of
but
as the empirical formula.
