Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

C

Answer to Question 3

A molecular formula is the exact number of each type of atom necessary to build a specific molecule. An empirical formula is simply the smallest whole number ratio between atoms in a compound. For example, C2H4 is the molecular formula for ethene. The empirical formula for ethene is CH2, the smallest whole number ratio between the atoms.
