For what type of compound are we unable to write a molecular formula?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Ionic compounds are not represented by molecular formula but are represented by empirical formula.

Step by step solution

01

Explanation

So, ionic compounds represented by formula which gives a ratio of the atoms in the compounds.
