| The following websites have a
variety of molecular models that may be viewed from the browser on your
computer: http://www.molecularmodels.ca/ - start by clicking on "Molecular Models" http://www.dcu.ie/~pratta/jmgallery/index.htm - start by clicking on the "Molecular Viewing Gallery (Jmol enabled) http://preparatorychemistry.com/Bishop_Molecules.htm - start by clicking on "Hydrocarbons" or "Alcohols" All of the molecular models at the above sites are rendered using Jmol java applets. It will take several seconds to load the Jmol applet the first time, or up to a minute or more if your computer or internet connection is slow. Subsequent models will load much faster. Java is ordinarily enabled on web browsers. In the event it is not, you will need to enable Java and/or download the latest version for your operating system. The free download and instructions may be found at http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp. |
| If you'd like, you may also draw structures of organic molecules using
ISIS/Draw, a free download.
Better yet, try out ACD Labs Chemsketch 10.0
Freeware, also a free
download. |
