Answer:

This chemical formula is for compound not for molecule

Step-by-step explanation:

C3H6O2 is a molecular formula of the compound. Molecular formulas indicate the simple numbers of each type of atom in a molecule, with no information on structure. As far as we do not know how the atoms connected in the molecule we can not tell anything of the compound which it represents.
