Slide Number 4

System Requirement

Here I am using

Ubuntu Linux OS version. 12.04

GChemPaint version 0.12.10

Slide Number 5

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 Ammonia structure.
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.

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 NH3 is seen 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 on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of the existing one tool.
Click and drag the bonds thrice on the Nitrogen atom. To draw threee bonds to Nitrogen atom

Click and drag the bonds thrice on Nitrogen atom.

Point to the bonds Orient the three bonds to form a Pyramid like structure.
Let's add a pair of un-bound 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.

This pair does not take part in bonding.

It is a lone pair of electrons.

Slide Number 6

Assignment

Assignment
  • Draw Phosphorus trichloride structure
  • Add a pair of un-bound electrons to the Phosphorus atom.
Let's now draw 'Carbonic acid(H2CO3) and Sulphuric acid(H2SO4).
Slide Number 7

Structures of Carbonic acid and Sulphuric acid.

Here is a slide for the structures of Carbonic acid and Sulphuric acid.
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. Draw fourth bond as a double bond to any one of the bonds.
Click on Current element drop down button. Now click on Current element drop down 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 Current element drop down button. Click on Current element drop down button.
Select S Select S
Click on Add or modify an atom tool>>Click on the Display area. Click on Add or modify an atom tool.

Then click on the Display area.

Observe H2S.

Click on the Display area>> Press capital O

A Submenu with O and Os opens.

Press capital O

A Submenu with 2 options 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.

In the Property menu>>make the Bond length value to 200 or above. In the Property menu, increase the Bond length value to 200 or above.
Click on H2S to draw the three bonds. 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. For the fourth OH bond, first click on S.

Now drag the bond to one side without releasing the mouse button.

Point to plus 2 charge near S. Observe a plus 2 charge near S.

This appears because Sulphur has to satisfy valency of 6.

Point to any 2 opposite bonds. Let's convert the opposite bonds as double bonds.
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.

Point to the structure Note that the plus 2 charge is no longer visible.

Sulphuric acid structure is complete.

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, 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 (CO32-) 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 ion (SO_4^2-) is formed.

Slide Number 7

Assignment

* Draw Nitric acid (HNO3) structure
  • Show the local charge on the Nitrate ion(NO^3-)

Your output should look like this.

Let me quickly demonstrate how to add a charge to an atom.
Press capital N'.

Point to the Submenu

Anywhere on the Display area', press capital N.

A Submenu opens in which let's select Na.

Click on Add or modify an atom tool>>Click on the Display area. Click on Add or modify an atom tool and then click on the Display area.

Sodium atom appears on the Display area.

Click on Increment the charge of a atom tool>>Click on Na. Click on Increment the charge of an atom tool.

Then Click on Na.

Observe a positive charge on the Sodium atom.

Point to Decrement the charge of an atom tool. In a similar way, we can add a negative charge to an atom.

This can be done by choosing Decrement the charge of an atom tool.

Now let's learn to draw Cyclic molecules.

For this, we will open a new GChemPaint window.

Click on Create a new file icon on the toolbar. Click on Create a new file icon on the toolbar.
Place the window within the recording area. Let me adjust the window position.
Ensure that C i.e. Carbon is selected as the current element.

Also, ensure that the Bond length is 200 or above.

Point to the cycle tools bar in the tool box There are various cycle tools here that we can use.
For eg - 
  • Add a three membered cycle
  • Add a four membered cycle
  • and some more cycle tools and then
  • Add a cycle.
Point to Add a four membered cycle tool We will use Add a four membered cycle' to the Display area.
Click on Add a four membered cycle tool>>Click on the Display area. So, click on it.

Then click on the Display area.

Let's add atoms to the cycle at the corners.
Right click on any one of the corners>>A Submenu opens. Right click any one of the corners.

A Submenu opens.

Select Atom>>Then click on Display symbol. Select Atom.

Then click on Display symbol.

Show this part fast. Likewise let's add atoms on all the corners.

Obtained structure is Cyclobutane.

Let's now convert a monocyclic compoud to bicyclic compoud.
Click on Add a six membered cycle tool>> click on the Display area. Click on Add a six membered cycle tool.

Then click on the Display area.

Click on the cycle bond Place the cursor on the cycle's bond and click again.

Observe the Bicyclic compound.

Click on Save the current file icon on the toolbar. To save the file,

Click on Save the current file icon on the toolbar.

Save as dialog box opens. Save as dialog box opens.
Enter the filename as Editing Molecules

>>Click on Save button.

Enter the filename as Editing Molecules

Click on Save button.

Let's summarize.
