Quick-Start Guide. When you enter an equation into the calculator, the calculator will begin by expanding (simplifying) the problem. Next, it will attempt to solve the equation by using one or more of the following: addition, subtraction, division, factoring, and completing the square.uick-Start Guide.

Molecular formulas describe the exact number and type of atoms in a single molecule of a compound. The constituent elements are represented by their chemical symbols, and the number of atoms of each element present in each molecule is shown as a subscript following that element's symbol.
The coordination number of an atom in a molecule or polyatomic ion is found by counting the number of atoms bound to it (note, not by counting the number of chemical bonds). It's more difficult to determine chemical bonding in solid-state crystals, so the coordination number in crystals is found by counting the number of neighboring atoms.
