Re: Difference between coordinate covalent and covalent bond

Coordinate covalent bonds have one species donate both electrons to the forming the bond while usually covalent bonds have one electron come from each atom.

Re: Octet vs formal charge

The accuracy of formal charge should be prioritized over having a full octet, because formal charge is usually more guaranteed while octet rule comes with exceptions.

Re: Atomic Radius

Atomic radius increases down a group because additional shells create a greater distance from the nucleus and decreases across a period as the effective nuclear charges increases.

Re: degeneracy of the a 4p orbital

The answer would be 3 because p has one subshell, which will have 3 orbitals which all share the same energy level.

Re: MOLARITY

Molarity is the measure of concentration of a substance in a solution and is used to calculate concentrations, volumes, or moles of a solution, using M(initial)xV(initial) = M(final)xV(final)

Re: Finding the volume of stock solution to dilute

L or mL is fine, just make sure to have matching units all throughout. It wouldn't hurt to change it at the beginning, since molarity is moles/L.

Re: Polar vs Non polar

To determine whether or not a molecule is polar or nonpolar, you have to consider the electronegativity between atoms, and if the atoms are symmetrical, it would most likely be nonpolar.

Re: When to round the answers to significant figures

Keeping as many significant figures when calculating gets you closest to the correct answer! You can round to the appropriate amount of significant figures at the end.
