First ChemSketch


Assalamualaikum w.b.t

In prvious semester, Dr Anwar had told us install Chemsketch software. This software actually is use to draw structure, calculate the molecular weight, and also naming the structures. It should be practiced in our lab reports. However, we can't manage to use this software
 because we didn't know how to use it. 





"GLUCOSE"

what is the structure of glucose?
Now, we will teach you all how to draw the simple structure of glucose by using the chemsketch.

1) First, you must install the software of CHEM SKETCH.
You may click this link to direct download :

  
2) Then, open the chemsketch. 
Next, click
benzene structure on the right side. Click rotate and rotate it.



 3) Then, put oxygen and hydroxide on each first, second, third, forth and fifth carbon of benzene, followed by oxygen on six carbon.



4) Lastly dont forget to save the structure.


Below is the structure of glucose that we get from the Google. Now compare it with the previous structure from chemsketch software.



Here is the example table of name and structure of compound that you can practice by using chemsketch :

Name Molecular Formula
Methane CH4
Ethane C2H4
Propane C3H6
Butane C4H8
Lastly, hope doctor can proud with us as we can use this software. TQ
