Molecule Maker

Molecule Maker is a lightweight software application built specifically for helping students draw the structural formula of a chemical compound, showing how the atoms are arranged.

It sports an intuitive layout that allows you to set up the dedicated parameters with minimum effort. Most of the utility’s functions can be activated using hotkeys, so the interface is pretty clean, letting you focus solely on your work.

The program gives you the possibility to draw horizontal or vertical bond lines, remove the last object you have added by pressing a hotkey, as well as create different types of bonds, such as double, triple, Van Der Waals, double or single headed arrows.

What’s more, you can insert symbols, clear the entire workspace, duplicate the selected item, import data from a file, and copy the graphical representation of the structural formula to the clipboard or export it to PNG file format.

Since it doesn’t require much computer knowledge to set up the dedicated parameters even rookies can learn to master the entire process using several mouse clicks and preset hotkeys.

During our testing we have noticed that Molecule Maker carries out a task quickly, provides very good output results, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

All things considered, Molecule Maker proves to be a reliable application that comes in handy for any student who is studying chemistry, as it provides the necessary tools for drawing the graphical representations of molecule structures.
