3. Introduction
• ChemDraw is a molecule editor first developed in 1985 by David A. Evans
and Stewart Rubenstein[1] (later by the cheminformatics company
CambridgeSoft). The company was sold to PerkinElmer in the year 2011.[2]
ChemDraw, along with Chem3D and ChemFinder, is part of the ChemOffice
suite of programs and is available for Macintosh and Microsoft Windows. A
simplified, touch optimized version for the iPad was released in late 2013.

4. WHY CHEMDRAW?
The drawing of chemical formulae and reaction schemes is a
repetitive task for chemists on all levels of their education.
While hand-sketching is most efficiently used during
discussions and learning, neat drawings are required for
official reports, publications, and theses.
Such drawings can be created with several computer
programs, and one example is ChemDraw.

5. WHY CHEMDRAW?
ChemDraw is a simple-to-use program that allows to draw
intuitively and efficiently simple two- dimensional
representations of organic molecules. It is available for the PC
as well as for the Mac platform.

13. Summary
• ChemDraw is a chemistry software which help us in many chemical
structures.
• It can convert the name of a molecule into its structure an vice versa.
• It can export the structures into PDF.
• It can give the properties of Saturation and Unsaturation.
• So it is very useful.

14. Conclusion
• I have used ChemDraw.
• It is very useful in understanding chemistry structures.
• It is very useful in MOT.
• It is also useful in Hybradization and VBT.
