Assalamualaikum and happy holiday readers!!! Yeahh, weekend comes again :)
This week, we want to share with you about Chem Sketch. do you know what is chem sketch?
ACD/ChemSketch is a drawing package software that allows us to draw chemical structures including organic, organometallics, polymers and Markush structures. It also includes features such as calculation of molecular properties (e.g; molecular weight, density, molar refractivity and etc) and naming the structures. In our previous semester, Doctor Anwar had told us to install and use this software to draw the chemical molecules we never use it. Why?? Because we never know how this software is function. Such a weird software for us!
Now, let's us try this software by drawing the structure of propane (CH3CH2CH3).
1) Before we started to use it, we must install it first in our laptop.
You may click this link below to direct download

2) When the software is successfully download and install in your computer, click on the Chemsketch icon to open it. You will see a blank page.
3) The Draw Normal tool is the default tool when the program is started. We must ensure that the Draw Normal is enabled on the Structure tool bar. Next, the Carbon (C) atom is selected on the Atoms tool bar.
4) Click in an empty space to draw CH4
5) Click CH4 to add a -CH3 group, creating CH3-CH3 with a standard bond length.

6) If you want to draw double and triple bonds, click the selected bond to make double and click twice to place a triple bond.
Here are the other examples that you can try by using the the chemsketch.
| Name | Molecular formula |
| Hexane | CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 |
| Butene | CH2CHCH2CH3 |
| Pentanol/td> | CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH |
| Benzene | C6H6 |
| Methanoic acid | CH2O2 |
Before we stop, we give you this tutorial as your guidelines to explore the ChemSketch software.
Hope you are enjoy it, bye.
