Questions about adenine (help asap pls)

The first four questions will apply to adenine (C5H5N5), a purine base found in DNA, RNA, and ATP

1.   Units of weight: grams vs. Daltons

 "How much does  one molecule/one mole of this molecule weigh?"


2.   Covalent bonding: atoms, covalent bonds, and molecules

 "How many atoms/bonds are found in this molecule?"


3.   Covalent bonds: polar vs. nonpolar

"How many polar covalent bonds/nonpolar covalent bonds does this molecule contain? (Note: Count double bonds as TWO covalent bonds.)"


4.   Covalent bonding: orbitals and hybridization

 "How many atoms in this molecule have undergone sp3 hybridization?"


For #1 I got 135.13 D and 135.13 g/mole

For #2 I got 20 atoms and 20 covalent bonds

For #3 I got 15 polar covalent bonds and 5 non-polar bonds

For #4 I got 2 sp^3 hybridization


Could you please let me know if my answers are correct and if not explain the correct answer?
