The molecular formula : = S₄N₂

Further explanation

Given

The emprirical formula : S₂N

Required

The molecular formula

Solution

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.

(empirical formula) n = molecular formula

A factor of 2⇒n=2

(S₂N)₂=molecular formula
