Introduction

ChemDraw is a program for PCs or Macs that helps you draw molecules and other chemical images such as equations and lab apparatus. You can also access chemical data through this program. We will be using this program in Chem 211 and 212 labs to draw molecular structures and equations for your e-labs. If desired, you may also use the clipware contained in the program to make drawings of glass ware and apparatus, in order to enhance your procedures sections. Wellesley College has a site license for this program. ChemDraw is installed on all of the Chemistry Department Computers in SCI 230.
