Formaldehyde, CH₂O, and glucose, C₆H₁₂O₆, have the same empirical formula, which happens to be equal to the molecular formula of formaldehyde.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The empirical formula of both formaldehyde and glucose is CH₂O, which means that they have the same ratio of atoms. However, the molecular formula of glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆, which is not the same as the molecular formula of formaldehyde (CH₂O). Therefore, statement A is true and statement B is false.
