Chemitorium

Chemitorium is a software tool which can be used in order to write chemical formulas and save them to the computer in various formats.

The installation process does not offer to download products that are not actually necessary in order for the program to properly work, and it is over in a few moments. If you are interested in skipping this process, you can download and try the portable version, called Portable Chemitorium.

The interface you are greeted by encloses a clear-cut design. It only encompasses a menu bar, the periodic system (than can be hidden at any point) and a panel to display your ongoing work. It can be used with great ease by anybody, as long as they have some minimal knowledge of chemistry.

This software utility comes packed with many formula samples, so that you can easily figure out how you should create them. Moreover, it is possible to export your projects to the hard drive, in formats such as XML, TIFF, JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG, EMF, WMF and AVI.

Oxidation states can be hidden or shown, as well as the periodic table and the 3D view. The later enables you to use different types of renderings, using high-quality or not. Aside from that, you can preview the entire formula and control the rotation speed, sequence length and frames per second. Hovering over an element enables you to view information regarding it, such as type, atomic number and mass, electronegativity and atomic radius.

Chemitorium is a reliable and efficient piece of software. Response time is good, CPU and memory usage is low, and our tests did not turn up errors or crashes.
