Chemdoodle

Some OWLv2 questions require you use the ChemDoodle Sketcher tool to draw a model of a molecule.

1 Park Place Elmira, NY 14901 Phone: Office (607) 735-1850 E-mail: cstilts@elmira.edu Education.

ChemDoodle Sketcher lets you draw the structural formula of a molecule by adding atoms, bonds, and rings to your model using the buttons at the top.

A question might begin with the ChemDoodle Sketcher displaying a single atom, an undefined dot, or a model that is nearly complete for you to finish.

  • ChemDoodle 2D contains thousands of chemistry features, helping you produce the highest quality graphics and saving you hours of work. We spend a very long time scrutinizing the graphics output in ChemDoodle. The software automatically orients bonds in the correct directions, merges bond strokes together, places attributes in the best locations.

  • ChemDoodle 2D provides an industry leading stoichiometry table. This stoichiometry table is a form where you input theoretical and experimental values from your experiment and you will get accurate calculations for your input and results. ChemDoodle 2D's stoichiometry tables are fully chemically aware and are self-calculating.

Example

Instructions:

Draw a complete structure for a molecule with the molecular formula CH4S.

  • Explicitly draw all H atoms.

Note The question begins with the ChemDoodle Sketcher tool displaying a single carbon atom.

Answer:

  1. Click , and click the carbon atom.
  2. Open the dropdown menu next to the element button, and select S.
  3. Click the new carbon atom to change it to an sulfur atom.
  4. Click , and click the sulfur atom.
  5. Open the Set Label dropdown menu and select H.
  6. Click the new carbon atom to change it to a hydrogen atom.
  7. Click , and click the carbon atom.
  8. Select H, and click the new carbon atom.
  9. Click , and click the carbon atom.
  10. Select H, and click the new carbon atom.
  11. Click , and click the carbon atom.
