Kuantan, Pahang, 9 Sept - Every wednesday we are having Coumputer in Science subject in Lab Orchid from 2-5 pm.(hee act like a reporter ^.^) Today we learn about Chemsketch.. Do you know about Chemsketch? I'm sure this is the 1st time most of you outside there heard about it right? Same goes to me. I will briefly explain what is Chemsketch so that you guys will have a clear picture about it.
Chemsketch is a most powerful program and easiest tool for drawing chemical structures, reactions, schematic diagrams and designing other chemistry-related reports and presentations. From April 1999 onward, Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) has been making ChemSketch available as freeware through the “Free Stuff” link at our Web site and it should be installed in its own separate folder... Thanks to them made it free. (before this you need to purchase it). Now we offer ACD/ChemSketch 8.0 for free! (newest version is ACD/Chemsketch 12.0). Make sure get the latest one..!!
All of the limitations on Freeware and also the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) can be found on web site at http://www.acdlabs.com/products/chem_dsn_lab/chemsketch/tech.html.you are encourage to visit the ChemSketch newsgroup at the address mentioned in the next section where you can post your questions or share tips.
The core capabilities of this program :-
- Drawing of Molecular Structure
- Structure Search
- Chemistry
- Reporting
- Enhanced Graphics
- Convenient Interface Design
~ structure mode - to draw a structure or reaction scheme of molecule
~ draw function - to entering and editing text, and drawing various graphical objects.
We are given several task. 1st task is how to draw the energy of reaction diagram which includes
-drawing a curve,
-modifying a curve
-drawing x and y axis
2nd task we learn how to draw different kinds of orbitals (subshell). There is one or more subshell in a shell.
| Subshell | No. of Electron |
|---|---|
| s | 2 |
| p | 3 |
| d | 10 |
| f | 14 |
| g | 18 |

d-orbital
pi-type orbital
The last task is drawing lipids and micelles
