MolView Reviews and Details

Is MolView good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• Does an Elemental Molecules Game/Program exist??

  Edit: I found molview.org which is very close to what I'm looking for. Is there a way to do full equations in the program? That would be more in line with that I'm looking for. Source: over 2 years ago

• The Nature of Xenobiology- Chapter 6

  ** Author’s note: I’ll be trying to upload every 3-5 days, but life can get hectic. Also, chemical names will almost never be used, officially for story reasons. Definitely not because they give me intense flashbacks. DEFINITELY NOT. That being said, any descriptions of chemicals I end up using can be drawn here. Source: about 3 years ago

• What are the polygons in visual representations of chemical... things?

  The hexagons and pentagons (and sometimes others) are deliberately drawn as regular shapes to make them neater. Sometimes this is physically accurate (benzene rings are true perfect hexagons) while other times it is not (e.g. Cyclic structures with nitrogen atoms will be irregular due to different bond lengths). Here is a cool tool that shows the true 3D structure of a given molecule, which you can draw in... Source: about 3 years ago

• Is there a way to add a molecule/drug to PyMol?

  Alternatively, if you're interested in a novel/unmodelled molecule, you can generate ideal coordinates using many tools and webservers, either directly from the SMILES/InChi strings (i.e., here) or by drawing the compound out (i.e., here). Or you can of course build it in PyMOL, but that would be last on my personal list. Source: about 3 years ago

• Beginner here. Wanna learn building molcules, but how do I google that?

  In order to draw them, molview.org looks nice. Source: over 3 years ago

• Is this a primary/secondary/tertiary alcohol?

  Unrelated to the question you asked: I've found this resource quite helpful whenever you know the structure of a chemical but not its name: https://molview.org/. You can draw the structure of a molecule, view it in 3D and if the molecule has a PubChem CID then under the Tools menu, you can go to the PubChem source to get its name and other properties.

• Can someone tell me what this is or the formula at least? (I'm chemically illiterate)

  I've found the following resource quite helpful in finding about chemicals when you don't know their name: https://molview.org/. You can draw the structure, view it in 3D and if it has a PubChem CID, you can go to the PubChem source of that chemical under one of the menus. Source: over 3 years ago

• Electron Structure / Model

  You should check out mol view molecular modeling, you can type in the formula and look at the molecule and its bonds from all angles molview. Source: over 3 years ago

• What free software is used to draw molecules and determine the dipole moment? I need the dipole moment of a Chalcone

  If you have no background in quantum chemistry yet, molview allows you to load molecule models from the NIH by name, to optimize them (2D -> 3D) and eventually to display the direction of the dipole for this conformer (Jmol -> overall dipole). Source: over 3 years ago

• Cheaper/free alternatives to Chem draw?

  Https://molview.org/ is good for drawing and modeling molecules. Source: over 3 years ago

• Good online and free resources to play with 3D molecules?

  I like to use molview.org . It also gives you spectroscopic information, a general info card, calculates MEPs for you and you can do dome protein stuff. Source: over 3 years ago

• As part of an illustration I want to include the molecular structure of nicotine. Why is it presented in these different ways? I like the way the lower left looks but is one way more accurate or complete?

  Personally, I like molview.org images. Just search for "nicotine" on molview.org then play with the colour/b&w and skeletal/structural buttons until the drawing suits your preferences. Source: over 3 years ago

• How do improve my spatial thinking for organic chemistry?

  As an addition re: models, some simple virtual interactive models might help (e.g., molview https://molview.org/, Chemdraw software, ...). Once you start drawing some things and checking their structure, it might get more intuitive. Also is way faster than the physical models :). Source: over 3 years ago

• orgo 1 + lab

  For resources, I suggest molview if you like visualizing the molecule in 3D. Chemspider (or chemdraw) for finding molecules you cannot find the name to. Source: over 3 years ago

• Is there any free website/program to help stimulate and get the 3d structure of compounds?

  Https://molview.org/ might work for that! It lets you build a molecule in 2D form and then visualizes it in 3D (just click "2D to 3D" when you're done building the molecule). It also allows you to rotate the 3D structure. Source: over 3 years ago

• Help needed in identifying compound

  If you have problems like this in future I recommend you to check this website https://molview.org. You can check information about the substance by drawing the structure and clicking tools and then information card. It's generally a very useful website. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Starting Organic Chemistry in 2 weeks

  Https://molview.org/ (3D molecular modeling - browser based) You can also use this to get "molecular electrostatic potential" which is a fancy way of saying where the electrons are. Very useful to get a visual. Source: almost 4 years ago

• [Chemistry: Carbonyls] Name Molecule one and state the reactants required for the formation of molecule 2.

  For naming, that's a little trickier - it's certainly not a naming convention that I can recall coming across in O Chem. You might have something in your notes - look by the class of compound. If not, if you go to molview.org and build the molecule, you can then get the name from the Information Card option under the Tools menu. Source: almost 4 years ago

• How can I be successful in CHEM 2E03?

  Molview.org is useful for visualizing stuff and yeah obviously dont fall behind. Orgo material itself is pretty easy, it's just that the profs make hard test questions, so do all the question banks that they post since those are past test questions and the most representative stuff youll find. And if you dont already know, focus on understanding the theory rather than memorizing. Source: almost 4 years ago

• I am having trouble naming this? chloroethyl-cyclohexane maybe? The chlorine at the end is tripping me up

  Https://molview.org/ I recommend you this website, you can draw molecules and get the information card about them, also has many other tools. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Help in stereochemistry

  I've usually used something like molview.org, where you can build molecules and display as a 3D interactive model. Source: about 4 years ago
