will be available throughout the application. Go to File>Preferences and click the Building/Display tab. Then, choose
from these options:
Automatic Atom Label Alignment. when this feature is selected, the alignment of atom labels will adjust according
to the positions of any bonds attached to the atom labels. For example, ‘CH
3
’at the left end of a horizontal bond
changes to ‘H
3
C’.
Automatically Rectify Hydrogens in Atom Labels. This feature adds or removes hydrogens from atom labels to
preserve standard valences when you change your drawing. For example, if you increase the bond order in ethane to
make ethylene, the ‘CH

’ changes to ‘CH
