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 add a six membered cycle to the Display area. | |
Click on Add a six membered cycle tool>>Click on Display area. | Click on Add a six membered cycle tool.
Click on the Display area. |
Click on Add a bond or change the multiplicy of the existing one tool | Click on Add a bond or change the multiplicity of the existing one tool.
Add two bonds on every corner of the cycle. |
Click and drag the bonds to proper position. | Position the bonds in such a way that no two bonds touch each other.
To do so, click and drag the bonds to proper position. |
Let's display carbon atoms at the corners of the cycle. | |
Right click on any one of the corner>>A submenu appears | Right click on any one of the corner.
A submenu appears. |
Select Atom >>click on Display symbol. | Select Atom and then click on Display symbol.
Likewise I will add Carbon atoms at all the corners of the cycle. |
Press capital H on the keyboard. | To add Hydrogen atoms to the bonds,
Press H on the keyboard. |
Click on Add or modify an atom tool>>Click on all the bond positions. | Click on Add or modify an atom tool
Click on all the bond positions. |
Point to the Hydogen atoms. | Again, see to it that no two Hydrogen atoms overlap each other.
The obtained structure is cyclohexane(C6H12). |
Let's copy and paste the structure | |
Press CTRL+A to select the structure >>Press CTRL+C to copy>>Press CTRL+V and paste | Press CTRL+A to select the structure.
Press CTRL+C to copy and Press CTRL+V and paste. |
Point to the structure. | Let's convert the second Cyclohexane structure to Cyclohexene. |
Click on the Eraser tool >> delete one of the hydrogen bonds of the adjacent carbon atoms. | Click on the Eraser tool.
Delete one hydrogen bond from each of the adjacent carbon atoms. |
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.
Then click on alternate bonds of the cycle, between the deleted hydrogen bonds. |
Point to the structure. | The obtained structure is Cyclohexene(C6H10) |
Slide Number 5
Assignment |
Here is an assignment.
Your completed assignment should look like this. |
Let's clear the Display area. | |
Press CTRL+A to select the structures >>Press Delete key to delete | Press CTRL+A to select the structures.
Press Delete key on the key board to delete. |
Next let's convert Cyclohexane to Benzene. Ensure that Current element is Carbon. |
