Slide Number 1 Title Slide	Hello everyone. Welcome to this tutorial on Resonance Structures in GChemPaint.
Slide Number 2 Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will learn to, Use different types of arrows to represent chemical reactions and Add charge and electron pairs on an atom
Slide Number 3 System Requirement	For this tutorial I am using Ubuntu Linux OS version 12.04. GChemPaint version 0.12.10.
Slide Number 4 Pre-requisites	To follow this tutorial you should be familiar with GChemPaint. If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website.
Switch to GChemPaint window.	I will switch to GChemPaint window. Here you can see EthylChloride and Methylbromide structures.
	I will show how to obtain a Carbo-cation.
Point to Chlorine atom.	Let's add a pair of electrons on the Chlorine atom of EthylChloride.
Click on Add an electron pair tool>>Click on Chlorine atom.	Click on Add an electron pair tool. Click on Chlorine atom and observe what happens.
	Next, I will show an electron pair shift in the Carbon-Chlorine bond.

Click on End arrow at center of new bond check box.	Click on End arrow at center of new bond check box.
Click on Carbon-Chlorine bond.	Click on Carbon-Chlorine bond. It moves the electron pair to the correct position.
Point to the shift.	Place the cursor on the curved arrow and observe the electron shift.
Point to the structure.	I will the copy of the structure.
Click on Add on arrow >>click between the structures.	Now, click on Add on arrow and click between the structures.
	Formation of a Carbo-cation is initialized by a base like Sodium Hydroxide(NaOH).
Click on Add or modify a group of atoms tool >> click above the arrow.	Click on Add or modify a group of atoms tool and click above the arrow.
Type NaOH in the green box.	Type NaOH in the green box.
Click on Selection tool>>Click on the text Base to select>>Right-click click on the arrow.	Click on Selection tool and select NaOH. Then, right-click on the arrow.
Point to the submenu. Select Arrow >>click on Attach selection to arrow.	In the submenu, select Arrow. Click on Attach selection to arrow.
Point to the dialogue box.	A dialogue box with heading Arrow associated appears.
Point to drop down.	In Role drop-down, select “Reactant” and click on Close. <PAUSE>
	Now, let's convert second EthylChloride to Ethyl Carbo-cation and Chloride ions.
Click on Eraser tool and click on Carbon-chlorine bond. Point to products.	Click on Eraser tool and click on Carbon-chlorine bond. Ethane(CH3-CH3) and HCl are formed.
Point to the central carbon.	When electrons shift from Carbon to Chlorine, Carbon gains a positive charge.
Click on Increment the charge tool>>Click at the position from where Carbon-chlorine bond to deleted.	Click on Increment the charge tool. Click at the position from where Carbon-chlorine bond was deleted. Ethyl Carbo-cation(CH3-CH2+) is formed.
Click on Decrement the charge tool>>click on HCl.	To form Chloride ion, click on Decrement the charge tool. Click on HCl. Chloride(Cl-) ion is formed. <PAUSE>
	Now let's move to single electron shift.
Point to Methylbromide.	Let's use the Methylbromide structure to obtain free radicals.
Click on Add a curved arrow to represent a single electron move tool.	Click on Add a curved arrow to represent a single electron move tool.
Click twice on Bromo-methane bond.	Click on Methylbromide bond to obtain a curved arrow. Shift the Pencil tool a little on the bond, click again to get second curved arrow.
Point to the Bromo-methane and curved arrows.	One curved arrow moves to bromo(Br) and other moves towards methyl(CH3). Both Bromo(Br) and methyl(CH3) will get one electron each from the bonded pair.
Point to the arrow.	To show the products, let's add an arrow. Click on Add an arrow, click on Display area.
Point to the free radicals.	Formation of free radicals involves heat in the reaction.
Click on Add or modify a text tool. Click on the Display area above the arrow. Type “Heat” in the green box.	Click on Add or modify a text tool. Click on Display area above the arrow. Type “Heat” in the green box.
Click on Selection tool>>select “Heat”.	Click on Selection tool and select “Heat”
Right-click on the arrow. Point to the submenu>> Select Arrow >>click on Attach selection to arrow.	Right-click on the arrow. In the Submenu select Arrow. Click on Attach selection to arrow.
Point to the dialogue box.	A dialogue box with heading Arrow associated appears.
Point to drop down.	Notice that Role drop down list has more options.
Point to Role drop down. Select “Temperature”>>Click on Close.	In the Role drop-down, select “Temperature” and click on Close.
Point to the structure.	I will copy the structure.
	Now let's create the free radicals.
Click on Eraser tool and click on Carbon-bromine bond. Point to CH4 and HBr.	Click on Eraser tool and click on Carbon-bromine bond. Methane(CH4) and Hydrogen-bromide(HBr) are formed.
Click on Add an upaired electron tool. Click on CH4 and HBr.	Click on Add an upaired electron tool. Click on Methane(CH4) and Hydrogen-bromide(HBr) Methyl(CH3) and Bromium(Br) free radicals are formed.
	Let's create a reaction pathway.
Click on Selection tool. Drag the cursor over the reaction to select it.	Click on Selection tool. To create a reaction pathway, first select the complete reaction.
Right-click on the selection. Point to the Submenu.	Now, right-click on the selection. A submenu opens.
Click on Create a new reaction. Point to the previous reaction	Click on Create a new reaction. Reaction path is created. Drag to see the reaction pathway. Likewise, I will create the reaction pathway for the previous reaction.
Right-click on the selection again. Click on Destroy the reaction.	We can also remove the reaction pathway, if we want to. To do so, right-click on the reaction again and click on Destroy the reaction.
Point to the reactants and products. Drag any object.	This action will remove the reaction pathway. Drag any of the objects, and you will see that they can be moved individually.
