    CH₂O

    Explanation:

    Empirical formula:

    It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number.

    Molecular formula:

    Molecular formula shows the actual whole number ratio of elements present in compound.

    Given molecular formula: C₆H₁₂O₆

    Empirical formula = CH₂O

    In molecular formula six moles of carbon six moles of oxygen and 12 moles of hydrogen are present.

    To get the smallest whole number we divide the each number by 6 and we get CH₂O which is empirical formula of C₆H₁₂O₆.
