Slide Number 3

System Requirement

Here 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 chemical structure editor.

If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website.

Switch to GChemPaint application. I have opened a new GChemPaint application.
Let's first draw an Ammonia structure.
Point to Periodic table combo button. For this I will use the Periodic table combo button.
Click on Current element drop down arrow button. Click on Current element drop down arrow button.
Select 'N from the table. Select N from the table.
Point to N Observe N in the tool box.
Click on Add or modify an atom tool>> click on Display area. Click on Add or modify an atom tool.

Then click on Display area.

Point to NH3 Observe NH3 on the Display area.
Press capital H.

Point to the Submenu.

Press capital H.

A Submenu with a list of elements starting with H appears.

Select H from the list. Select H from the list.
Click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of the existing one tool>>Click thrice on the Nitrogen atom. Click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of the existing one tool.

Click and drag the bond thrice on Nitrogen atom.

Point to the bonds Orient the three bonds to form a Pyramid like structure.
Let's add a pair of unbound electrons on Nitrogen atom.
Click on Add an electron pair to an atom tool>> click on the Nitrogen atom. Click on Add an electron pair to an atom tool.

Then click on Nitrogen atom of Ammonia.

Observe the changes.

Point to the unbound electrons. Note that Nitrogen of Ammonia has a pair of electrons that do not take part in bonding.

This pair of electrons is lone pair.

Let's now draw 'Carbonic acid(H2CO3) and Sulphuric acid(H2SO4) structures on the same window.
Slide Number

Structures of Carbonic acid and Sulphuric acid.

Here is a slide for the structures of Carbonic acid and Sulphuric acid.
Let's move Ammonia(NH3) structure to aside.
Click on Select one or more objects tool>>Click on the structure and drag to aside Click on Select one or more objects tool.

Click on the structure and drag to aside

Let's first draw Carbonic acid structure.
Click on the Current element arrow button>>Select C from the table. Click on the Current element arrow button.

Select C from the table.

Click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of the existing one tool. Click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of the existing one tool.
Click on the Display area.

Point to the orientation

Click on the Display area.

Orient three bonds in such a way that they form an inverted Y.

Point to the fourth bond. Let's draw fourth bond as a double bond to any one of the bonds.
Click on Periodic table Combo button Now click on Periodic table Combo button
Select O. Select O.
Click on Add or modify an atom tool Click on Add or modify an atom tool
Point to the cursor. Place the cursor near the bonds.
Click on the bond positions. Click on the three bond positions.

Carbonic acid(H2CO3) structure is drawn.

Let's draw the Sulphuric acid structure.
Click on Periodic table Combo button. Click on Periodic table Combo button.
Select S Select S
Click on Add or modify an atom tool>>Click on the Display area.

Point to H2S.

Click on Add or modify an atom tool.

Click on the Display area. Observe H2S.

Press capital O

A Submenu with O and Os opens.

Press capital O

A Submenu with O and Os opens.

Select O. Select O.
Click on Add or modify an atom tool>> click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of the existiing one tool. Click on Add or modify an atom tool.

Then click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of the existing one tool.

Click on H2S to draw the three bonds of OH to S. Click on H2S to draw the three bonds of OH to S.
Click on S and drag the bond to a side without releasing the mouse. To draw the fourth OH bond,

click on S and drag the bond to a side without releasing the mouse.

Let's convert the opposite OH bonds as double bonds as shown in the slide.
Click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of the existiing one tool>>click on the existing bonds. Click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of the existing one tool.


Then click on the opposite existing bonds of the structure.

Sulphuric acid structure is drawn.

Next let's add a local charge on the Carbonic acid and Sulphuric acid structures.
Click on Decrement the charge of an atom tool. To show local charge on Carbonic acid.

Click on Decrement the charge of an atom tool.

Click on two O-H groups. Click on the two O-H groups of the Carbonic acid.

Observe that Carbonate ion is formed.

Click on Decrement the charge of an atom tool. To show local charge on Sulphuric acid structure.

Click on Decrement the charge of an atom tool.

Click on the two opposite O-H groups. Click on the two opposite O-H groups of Sulphuric acid.

Observe that Sulphate is formed.

Slide Number 5

Assignment

* Draw Nitric acid structure(HNO3)
