Daniela Bush · Answer 1

One possible molecular formula for this would be to simply multiply all the elements by 2 (double it), so that the molecular formula is:

C6H10Cl2O2

This molecular compound is called in many names such as 2,2-Dichlorohexanoic acid, 6,6-Dichlorocaproic acid or Methyl 2,5-dichloropentanoate. This all depends on the chemical bonds on the 3D projection.
