The empirical formula of a compound is defined as the formula that shows the ratio of elements present in the compound, but not the actual numbers of atoms found in the molecule. The ratios are denoted by subscripts next to the element symbols.
The empirical formula is also known as the simplest formula because the subscripts are the smallest whole numbers that indicate the ratio of elements.
