The given formula of [tex]C_{8} H_{2} O F_{4}[/tex] can be written as [tex]C_{4} H_{10}-C_{4} H_{10}-F_{4}[/tex]
Explanation:
Empirical formula is one of the way of representing the structural arrangement of any molecule. With this formula, we can guess the nearest atom or element in a heterogeneous molecules. Mostly the empirical and molecular formula differs for organic compounds.
As in organic compounds consists of chain of carbon and hydrogen elements. So while arranging them in a relation, we should remember that carbon should contain 4 nearby atoms and hydrogen can share only one electron to its nearby atom. Thus, a carbon can have three hydrogen and one carbon as neighbouring element.
So the given formula of [tex]C_{8} H_{2} O F_{4}[/tex] can be written as
[tex]C_{4} H_{10}-C_{4} H_{10}-F_{4}[/tex]
