Answer: D
The formula showing the simplest ratio of atoms is the empirical formula.
The empirical formula gives the smallest whole-number ratio of the atoms of each element in a compound. Glucose, for example, has the empirical formula CH2O, while its molecular formula is C6H12O6.
The molecular formula gives the actual number of each kind of atom in a molecule, a whole-number multiple of the empirical formula. A structural formula shows how the atoms are bonded. A rational (condensed) formula groups atoms by functional groups, such as CH3COOH for acetic acid.
