Solution

The correct option is B stability of molecule
A molecular formula indicating the composition of a molecule of a compound and giving the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound. From that mass of molecule and charge on atoms can be calculated.

But the stability of the molecule can not be determined from the molecular formula.

Hence, the correct option is $C$
