So an empirical formula gives you a ratio of the elements in the molecule. The ratios of the different elements that they had in a molecule. They could at least come up with, they could observe Weren't able to look at just one molecule, but I'm about to write down the empirical formula, isīecause early chemists, they can't look, they Some observations that make you think this new thing. Know, I from empirical evidence I now believe this, this Is referring to something that comes from observation And you might be thinking, what does empirical mean? In general, the word "empirical"
