Point to the check box.

click on Show explicit methyl groups.

To show Methyl groups on the chain click on Show explicit methyl groups.
Point to the check box click on Show implicit hydrogens To show hydrogens click on Show implicit hydrogens.
Click on Apply and OK buttons to apply the changes. Click on Apply and OK buttons to apply the changes.
As an example let's draw Phosphoric acid(H3PO4).

Point to PH3

To draw, click on Phosphrous(P) tool and then click on the Panel.

Phosphine(PH3) will be displayed

Click on Oxygen(O) tool>> click on Single bond tool . Click on Oxygen(O) tool and click on Single bond tool.
Point to small blue circle.Click on Oxygen(O) tool and click on Single bond tool. Place the cursor on P; a small 'blue' colored circle appears on it.

Click on P and drag to draw four Hydroxy bonds.

Point to the red line below Phosphrous atom. You will notice a red line below Phosphrous atom.

This indicates that valency is not complete.

Point to the top bond To complete the valency let's make the top Phosphrous-hydroxy bond as a double bond.
Click on double bond tool >>click on top the Phosphrous-hydroxy bond. Click on double bond tool.

Click on top Phosphrous-hydroxy bond.

The obtained structure is Phosphoric acid.

Point to the structure. Notice that all the atoms in the structure are black colored.
Go to Edit menu and navigate to Preferences. To show Rasmol color of the element,

Go to Edit menu and navigate to Preferences.

In the window click on Color atoms by element check box>>It shows Rasmol color of the element. In the window click on Color atoms by element check box.

It shows Rasmol color of the element.

Click on Apply and OK buttons . Click on Apply and OK buttons to apply the changes.

Note that elements appear with their Rasmol colors.

Now let's save the file.
Click on File menu >> select Save as... Click on File menu and select Save as....
Save as dialog box opens. Save as dialog box opens.
Select Desktop folder to save the file on Desktop. Select Desktop folder to save the file on Desktop.
Type the file name as Oxyacids of Phosphorus >> Click on Save button. Type the file name as Phosphoric acid and click on Save button.

The file will be saved with .mol extension.

Let's summarise,
