Expert Solution
Step 1

Molecular formula :- 

The formula which represent the actual number of atoms of different elements present in one molecule of the compound is called molecular formula .

In a molecular formula , the subscripts of symbol of atom represent the number of atoms of that element present in the molecule .

For example : 

H2O has  2 H-atoms and 1 O-atom

2H2O has 2×2 = 4 H-atoms and 2×1 = 2 O-atoms

3H2O has 3×2 = 6 H-atoms and 3×1 = 3 O-atoms
