Introduction:

Chemsketch is a molecular modeling program used to create and modify images of chemical
structures. Also, there is a software (Chem3D) that allows molecules and molecular models displayed in
two and three dimensions, to understand the structure of chemical bonds and the nature of the functional
groups.
Product:

It is product of Advanced Chemistry Development laboratories.

Features:

This program offers some advanced features that allows the molecules rotate and apply color to
improve visualization. It has several templates with ions and functional groups with the possibility to add
text and use other tools to optimize productions created by the software. names of organic molecules as
well as Lewis structures, 3D structures, space filling models or ball and stick models.

 Using Buttons Available
Draw a structure using buttons
1. Single click anywhere on the main screen. You should see CH4 appear
on the screen.
CH4
2. Position the pointer over that CH4. You will know when the pointer is
properly positioned because a faint box will appear around the C atom (along
with its hydrogens). Single click. You should now see H 3C-CH3 (which is
Initial interface ethane).

the C atom you have chosen (along with its hydrogens). Single click. You
should now see a 2D structure of propane H3C

 Drawing 3-D Molecular Structures
1. Draw molecular structures with the program named “ChemSketch” .

CH2 OH
Click this button for 3D view

Chose any mode which is required

(ball & stick) (spacefill)
 1. To start drawing:
ChemSketch: Drawing 3-D Molecular Structures
Click anywhere on the window pane, the formula CH4 appears.
2. To substitute H with another element:
Click on the element symbol (on the left), or on the small periodic table icon on the upper left side and hit
“OK”.
Click on the pane (a non-metal will always appear with the correct number of H’s.)
Click on one of the structures (without releasing the mouse) and drag a line to connect the 2 formulas.
(Note: The program ‘knows’ that it needs to eliminate H’s.)
3. To clean the structure:
Click on “Tools”, “Clean Structure”
4. To draw the 3-D structure:
Click on the “3D Viewer”, which appears as an icon at top right menu.
Click on the “3D Optimization” icon (5th from right).
Click on the “Balls and Sticks” icon.
5. To rotate the molecule:
Click and drag the structure in any direction.
6. To Change Colors: Click “Options”, “Colors”:
To change background color from black (to any color, white preferred): Choose
white color.
To change colors of atoms: Choose the atom and its new color.
7. To copy structure and paste it into Word or PowerPoint:
CTRL + C for copy… Paste > paste special >
ACD/lab object > click ok

 SUMMARY
Chemsketch  is  software    to  draw  chemical  structure  &  used  to  form 
structures, chemicals equations, 3D models and lab diagrams…
Chemsketch has user friendly interface. There are multiple buttons that 
are used to apply different function in a chemical structures…
Lewis structure formation is the important feature of ChemSketch. It is 
used  to  draw  Lewis  structure.  In  ChemSketch  there  are  by  default 
templates of Lewis structure but customizing facility is available to draw 
Lewis structure on your wish using dots and cross…
3D  view  is  best  feature  of  ChemSketch  which  is  used  to  visualize 
chemical  structure  in  3D  mode  in  different  formations  like  wire  frame, 
ball  &  sticks,  space  fill,  disk  and  dotted  structure  with  different 
background.
Integration with other software is available in ChemSketch…
