For many compounds, empirical and molecular formulas are same.
For example, water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) etc. Can you show it why?
Because these compounds have already in simplest whole number ratio of atoms. Therefore, empirical and molecular formula of these compounds is same.
