Answer: The pair which shares the same empirical formula is
$NO_2\text{ and }N_2O_4$ .

Step-by-step explanation: Empirical formula is defined as the chemical formula in which the elements in the compound are present in simplest ratio.

So, from the given pairs, only
$NO_2\text{ and }N_2O_4$ shares the same empirical formula which is
