Please draw a structure with the integrated molecule editor (JSME) on the left-hand side. The 3D structure will automatically be calculated by CORINA Classic and displayed on the right-hand side in the Jmol app. Below the JSmol/Jmol visualization app window, two links are provided to download the structure as PDB or Molfile.
The functionality of this online service is also described in a short user guide saved as slide show or PDF file.
Microsoft Word includes a set of drawing tools that include the basic requirements for drawing a Lewis dot structure. Users can use the circle tool to create the circles representing electrons, and the line tool to create the lines indicating chemical bonds.

- Lewis structure of sulfate ion is drawn in this tutorial step by step. Total valence electrons concept is used to draw the lewis structure of SO 4 2-. In lewis structure of sulfate ion, there should be charges on several atoms due to -2 charge.
- Promoting the WHY of Lewis Structures. Many students, and teachers, search the web for information on drawing Lewis structures for specific compounds. For example, over 1,500 people search on the term 'NH3 Lewis structure' each month on Google. Most often they find a procedural description of the steps necessary to draw a Lewis structure for NH3.
Remarks: In case of a slow internet connection you can disable the interactivity by unchecking the checkbox 'Interactive'. Update the 3D model manually by clicking on the 'Update' button. The structure editor will also read MOL files using the PASTE command (Ctrl+V) or context menu (right mouse-click). Finally, some HTML 5 compatible browsers support the drag and drop functionality of Molfiles. |
Note: This online service requires that JavaScript is enabled in your internet browser. If the visualization window on the right-hand side is not successfully loaded, click on the 'Java' button to start the Java based display of the 3D structure. In this case the Java plug-in (version 1.4 or higher) should be installed and enabled in your browser. The previous non-interactive version of the CORINA Classic online service is also still available. |
