Some OWLv2 questions crave you use the ChemDoodle Sketcher tool to depict a model of a molecule.

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 summit.

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

  1. Depict the structural formula.
    To practice this Exercise this
    Add atoms
    1. Click the downwards arrow next to the element push button.

      options for commonly used elements

    2. Select an element.

      Cull from the displayed options, or click display periodic table to choose from the periodic table.

    3. Click an existing element in ChemDoodle Sketcher and elevate away.

      The selected chemical element is added to the structual formula.

    2. Click Rgroup .
    3. Click an cantlet.
    4. Enter a positive integer in the Input window.
    Describe bonds

    To draw a bond with carbon at the other end:

    1. Select a bond type.

      types of bonds

    2. Click an existing atom.

    To describe a bail with an element other than carbon at the other end:

    Note This can only be done with single bonds, but you lot can edit the bail later.

    1. Select the single bond.
    2. Select an element.
    3. Click and drag away from an existing atom.
    Draw rings
    1. Select a ring type.

      types of rings

    2. Click an cantlet or pair of atoms.
    Enclose a region with brackets
    1. Click bracket.
    2. Click and drag to select the region to enclose with brackets.
    3. Use the three sets of arrows around the brackets to ascertain the following values:
      • Charge amount: tiptop-right arrows
      • Echo count: lesser-right arrows
      • Multiple count: centre-left arrows
  2. Edit the structural formula.
    To exercise this Do this
    Edit atoms
    1. Click the downwards arrow next to the chemical element button.

      options for commonly used elements

    2. Select an element.

      Choose from the displayed options, or click display periodic table to choose from the periodic table.

    3. Click an chemical element in ChemDoodle Sketcher to ready information technology to the selected element.
    Edit bonds
    1. Select a bond blazon.

      types of bonds

    2. Click an existing bond.
    Move objects
    1. Click move.
    2. Click and elevate an object.
    Erase an object
    1. Click erase.
    2. Click an object.
    Undo your last action Click undo.
    Redo your last action Click redo.
    Clear all objects Click clear.
  3. Click Submit Answer.

Example

Instructions:

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

  • Explicitly depict all H atoms.
  • In cases where there is more than than i answer, just draw 1.

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

the ChemDoodle Sketcher tool displaying one carbon atom.

Reply:

  1. Click single bond , and click the carbon atom.
