Answer:
Structural formula is the actual formula of the molecule. Empirical formula shows the ratio between atoms as lowest integer.
EX)
C6H12O6 is structural formula of glucose
CH2O is empirical formula of glucose.
glucose is C6H12O6, not CH2O. But, empirical formula shows that there is 1:2:1 ratio of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the molecules.
