Solution

Molecular formula: molecular formula of a compound is the symbolic representation of the one molecule of a compound which shows the number of atom of each element that is present in it.
For example, $H_{2} O$ (water) molecule represents that water is made up of 2 atoms of hydrogen element and one atom of oxygen.
In $KCl$ , K stands for potassium and Cl represents chloride ion thus.
Thus KCl is named potassium chloride.
