Explanation:

Structural Formulas v. Empirical Formulas

An empirical formula (like a molecular formula) lacks any structural information about the positioning or bonding of atoms in a molecule. It can therefore describe a number of different structures, or isomers, with varying physical properties. For butane and isobutane, the empirical formula for both molecules is C2H5, and they share the same molecular formula, C4H10. However, one structural representation for butane is CH3CH2CH2CH3, while isobutane can be described using the structural formula (CH3)3CH.
