To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:

       Mass              Moles                     
K    52.10     52.10/39.10 = 1.33         1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C    15.8       15.8/12         = 1.32         1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O     32.1      32.1 / 16       =  2.01        2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5

The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.

Atoms that differ only in the number of neutrons are called:
Natali [406]
The answer is C. Isotopes.

Isotopes are defined as two substances that have the same number of protons and electrons, but a different number of neutrons, and therefore a different atomic mass. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of each other.

Hope this helps!
