Solution

The correct option is B

CH2O


CH2O

Empirical formula is one which gives the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound. The best idea would be to divide each of the value by the smallest number of moles present in chemical compound.

In C6H12O6 the entire formula is divided by 6 and we get CH2O
