2D Molecule Drawing Module - General Chemistry function sendEmail() { var title = '2D Molecule Drawing Module - General Chemistry'.replace("'", "\'").replace("'", "\'"); window.location = 'mailto:?subject=' + title + '&body=' + window.location; }

2d molecule drawing module.

The 2D Molecule Drawing Module (MDM) allows students to draw chemical structures or reactions as answers to Smartwork questions. An example of an MDM problem is shown below. Depending on your screen resolution or your browser settings, you may need to adjust the zoom in order to see the entire MDM. The figure below shows the entire MDM, which consists of a white workspace surrounded by a dark-gray border that contains several toolbars.

The figure above presents the MDM with a “blank” module workspace (the white area). Students may also see the MDM shown with a chemical drawing prompt, such as an atom, molecule, chemical reaction, or chemical scheme. The figure below provides an example of what the MDM may look like when a prompt is shown. Depending on the nature of the question being asked, the prompts can vary widely.

There are three primary toolbar areas within the MDM border. The toolbar areas are highlighted in the figure below as follows: formatting tools (red), drawing tools (blue), and elemental symbols (green).

Here is a video introduction to the 2D Molecular Drawing Module:

  Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

2D Molecule Drawing Module – Toolbar Introduction

Formatting Toolbar:  The formatting toolbar on the top left of the MDM contains four or five tool options depending on the state of the workspace window. A zoomed-in view of the formatting toolbar’s five-tool version is shown here: 

(Note: Only the four-tool option is shown in the previous MDM views up above.)

The table below gives the name and general function of each of the five tools in the formatting toolbar.

Here is a video introduction of the Formatting Toolbar:

Drawing Toolbar:  The drawing toolbar on the left side of the MDM contains eight tool options. A zoomed-in view of the toolbar is shown here: 

The following table lists and gives the name of each tool along with a brief discussion of its function.

Here is a video introduction of the Drawing Toolbar:

Here is a video introduction of the Elemental Symbol Toolbar:

Using the 2D Molecule Drawing Module

Example 1: methane, ch 4.

The next few figures will show you how to use the MDM to draw some chemical figures. The first molecule is methane, CH 4 . Once complete, your molecule should look similar to this:

In the MDM workspace, click on the C (for carbon) icon in the Elemental Symbols toolbar. In the figure below, note that the C has been highlighted in gray, denoting that it has been selected.

With the C now active, click in the white workspace area. This will put the carbon atom where you clicked.

Activate the H by clicking on the H icon in the Elemental Symbols toolbar. Now, mouse over the C in the workspace. The C will be highlighted with a blue circle.

With the C highlighted with the blue circle, click and hold the left mouse button while dragging the mouse away from the C atom. This will draw a single bond between the C and the H when you release the mouse button.With the C highlighted, click and hold the left mouse button while dragging the mouse away from the C atom. This will draw a single bond between the C and the H when you release the mouse button.

Using this same method, draw the remaining three hydrogen atoms on the carbon. Your drawing should look similar to the picture below, depending upon which directions you dragged your mouse.

Note: You don't need to zoom in before submitting your answer, but you may find it useful to do so to ensure that all atoms are bonded as you intended. Additionally, Smartwork will grade your answer based on connectivity (how the atoms are connected) rather than what the molecule you drew looks like. In this case, so long as the carbon has the four hydrogens attached, your answer will be marked as correct.

Below is a video demonstration of Example 1:

Example 2: Water, H 2 O

You can start by selecting the O atom from the Elemental Symbols toolbar and clicking in the white workspace.

Activate hydrogen by clicking on the H icon in the Elemental Symbols toolbar. Mousing over the O in the workspace will highlight the O with a blue circle around it.

With the O highlighted with the blue circle, click and hold the left mouse button while dragging the mouse away from the O atom. This will draw a single bond between the O and the H when you release the mouse button. To add the second H atom, click on the O and drag again.

The O atom in water should have two lone pairs of electrons. In the dropdown menu, click on the pair of electrons (two dots) to activate it. To add the first pair, click on the O atom.

To add the second pair, click on the O atom again. Notice that the positions of the lone pairs on the O atom are automatically adjusted when the second pair is added.

Below is a video demonstration of Example 2:

Example 3: Isocyanate ion, OCN –

Note : While the particular resonance structure of the ion shown below is not the most chemically stable, it was chosen since several MDM tools could be used to draw it.

In addition to the method presented in the previous two examples, another way to draw a molecule that contains multiple chemical elements is to draw the basic structure using only one element and then using the Elemental Symbols tool bar to change them to the proper elements. In this example, the basic structure is drawn with all C atoms. 

Click on the C in the Elemental Symbols toolbar. Next, click in the white workspace. The C atom will appear. Mouse over the C atom to highlight it with a blue circle. Click and hold on the C while dragging the mouse to the right. A second C bonded to the first will display.

Mouse over the C atom on the right to highlight it with a blue circle. Click and hold while dragging the mouse again to the right to make the third C appear. You structure should look like this.

To change the left C atom to an O atom, click on the O in the Elemental Symbols toolbar, followed by clicking on the left C atom.

Repeat the process to change the C atom on the right to a N atom. Click on the N in the Elemental Symbols toolbar, followed by clicking on the right C atom.

Mousing over the bond between the O and C atoms will circle it in blue.

Clicking on the circled bond will change it to a triple bond.

Note : After doing this, only the plus symbol (+) will be shown; the number 1 is omitted from the structural drawing. Occasionally, the bonds and charges may overlap on the screen as shown below, but the question will still grade normally.

Below is a video demonstration of Example 3:

Valence Error

A valence error message will be displayed if the formal charge on an atom does not match with the valence due to surrounding bonds and lone pairs.  In the structure below, the terminal oxygen atom with a complete octet must have a formal charge of -1. 

Because the negative formal charge is not labeled on the atom, the valence error will be displayed as the feedback after the question is submitted.  This valence check will automatically apply to all structures drawn, and will supersede other feedback.

Drawing Errors

A warning message will be displayed if you draw two arrows on top of each other.  To dismiss the message, use the delete tool to remove one of the duplicate arrows before continuing.

Oregon State students provide free dental care to those in need

When people lose their homes and incomes, they frequently lose their teeth.

Their teeth begin to rot, and without access to dentists and anesthesia, people often pull the teeth out themselves.

Anika Phuvasate sees such problems firsthand.

When she was the president of Oregon State University's Pre-Dental Club in April, she helped coordinate the third-annual Impact Your Health Clinic to provide free dental services to people experiencing poverty.

"A lot of these community members who are coming to our clinic haven't seen a dentist in several years," Phuvasate said. "They lack the assets, or it could also be due to the stigma that surrounds poor dental health. People are often quick to judge people who have tooth decay and blame it on individual irresponsibility. The reality is there are a lot of social factors that come into play when it comes to someone's oral health."

No one should be ashamed to get dental care, she said.

"It was very rewarding for me to interact with these patients and create a nonjudgmental and compassionate environment for that and perhaps change their typical experience at the dental office," said Phuvasate, who graduated this spring.

The Centers for Disease Control, the nation's leading science-based, data-driven, service organization, reports that gum disease with bone loss is twice as common (at 60%) among adults ages 30 and older with low incomes compared with adults who had higher income (at 30%).

Untreated cavities are about twice as common among working-age adults with no health insurance coverage (43%) compared with those who have private health insurance coverage (18%).

Groundswell, an advocacy organization based in London reports that seven out of 10 people lose teeth after becoming homeless — with 15% of them pulling their own infected and rotting teeth.

OSU students help a community member receive free dental care during the third-annual Impact Your Health Clinic.

Clinics draw people from Oregon Coast and beyond

Members of Oregon State's Pre-Dental Club began organizing the annual dental clinic three years ago in partnership with Caring Hands Worldwide, an Oregon-based nonprofit that provides free dental care through similar clinics throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Club members gather dentists, hygienists, dental assistants, translators and other volunteers for the clinic. They perform a variety of tasks such as sterilizing dental instruments and checking in patients. They also raise money for the clinic and spread the word to patients.

A story last spring in the Daily Barometer, Oregon State's student newspaper, went a long way in spreading the word, said club Vice President Yasmeen Koborsi.

"The word really got out on campus, and it was a true community effort," she said. "It was all of these organization leaders on and off campus who came together and wanted to take a moment and help spread the word."

Patients came from Corvallis, Lebanon and Philomath and as far away as the Oregon Coast and The Dalles. "A lot of these people had homes," said Koborsi. "They just didn't have insurance or other means to get dental work done for themselves or their children.”

Corvallis dentist Dr. Cam Little poses with another dental provider during the clinic. Little is the advisor of the annual clinic.

Pre-Dental club proves rewarding for students

Phuvasate said the clinic is extremely meaningful to her on a personal level. "Volunteering at it for the past three years has helped me reaffirm my decision to go into dentistry," she said.

The Pre-Dental Club is rewarding in general, said Koborsi. "The club shows students different ways to connect with the community through service projects and how to apply to the dental program," she said. "It hopefully deepens their passion for dentistry for their future careers."

Koborsi also graduated this spring. Like Phuvasate, she will be attending Oregon Health & Science University in the fall to complete her dental education.

"I love that through dentistry you are able to give people hope and let them know you care about them," she said. "You show them that, for about one hour in their day, you have dedicated your time to them to make them feel good at the end of it."

Dr. Cam Little, a dentist practicing in Corvallis since 1996, is the advisor of the annual clinic. He works closely with pre-dental students in general. Students interested in careers in dentistry frequently job shadow him.

"I didn't feel that observation only was enough for the students," Little said. "Sometimes I would let them assist me chairside if possible. I found that this gave them real hands-on experience and a better understanding of what it is like to treat a patient."

Little began working with Caring Hands Worldwide in 2018 in Eugene, even before the Pre-Dental Club began organizing the Corvallis clinics.

Avery Esau, the Pre-Dental Club president in 2021, suggested starting clinics in Corvallis. "She took the information back to a club meeting, and they voted to start doing this as their main yearly philanthropic mission," Little said.

Esau and fellow pre-dentistry student Isabella Sandgren rallied a team and held the first clinic at the First Congregational United Church of Christ.

This year's clinic ran April 13 and 14 at the Benton County Fairgrounds and drew 150 patients.

"This event is a real benefit to the community and to those who cannot afford dentistry and have no access to care," Little said. "It is also of great benefit to the pre-dental students of OSU. They get an opportunity to organize and staff a major philanthropic event.”

"It just deepened my passion each year."

Koborsi said she just hopes they helped people. "We tried to make sure every person who came left with more than what they expected," she said.

She became involved in dentistry through the Undergraduate Research, Scholarship & the Arts program at Oregon State.

"I was in Dr. Philip McFadden's lab in the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics through URSA during my sophomore year," Koborsi said. "That really opened my eyes to how much I love the science, and specifically the chemistry, behind teeth."

She volunteered at the first Impact Your Health Clinic in 2022. "That was the way that I fell in love with dentistry," she said. "It just deepened my passion each year."

Koborsi said she initially wanted to be a pharmacist. "I really enjoyed being able to have a job where I was able to meet with patients and have a connection with them," she said. "As a dentist, I would be able to even deepen those connections. I just really want to have a career where I can build a community and connect with people and make people feel welcome, included, safe and cared for."

Participants of the third-annual free dental clinic pose for a group picture.

Making it less scary to see a dentist

Phuvasate said she also finds the clinics inspirational. "They made me realize that the reason I want to go into dentistry is to help people overcome their feelings of shame and insecurity when they're in the dental chair," she said.

She chose to go into dentistry at the end of high school. "I wasn't entirely set on it," she said. "I started looking into it because I was interested in human biology. I also knew I wanted a career where I could work with the general public. I wasn't drawn to doing research or lab work behind the scenes. I decided to look into health care."

Although she considered being a physician, said Phuvasate, she heard too many physicians complain about burning out from their frustration with the health-care system. "Every dentist I talked with was extremely happy with their work/life balance and the personal connections they're able to make with patients," she said.

"As a kid, I never had any bad interactions with dentists," she added. "I actually looked forward to seeing my dentist. I didn't realize that many people have a phobia about going to the dentist. That also made me realize how much of an impact those interactions can have."

Phuvasate said she hopes some people are already more comfortable seeing a dentist because of the help she and her fellow Pre-Dental Club members provided at the annual clinics.

"Maybe they avoided the dental office because they're so used to being judged for the state of their teeth," she said. "We hopefully made people comfortable enough to talk about their dental health."

Starling Marte will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A St. Lucie tomorrow, Carlos Mendoza said. He’ll be the DH. — Tim Healey (@timbhealey) August 6, 2024

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Marte, who was placed on the 10-day injured list on June 25 with a bone bruise in his right knee and reported on Monday, will be the designated hitter. After speaking to reporters back in late July, about feeling “close” in regard to returning to on-field action, it was reported Marte would start playing games in Port St. Lucie before moving on to Double-A Binghamton, and then hopefully, back to Flushing.

Starling Marte (bone bruise in right knee) will begin a minor league rehab assignment tomorrow with Class A St. Lucie. He recently said he expects to advance to Double-A Binghamton by the end of this week. My hunch is he'll be real close once the Mets return home on Aug. 13. — Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) August 6, 2024

The anticipated timetable after a few weeks of uncertainty was sometime in early-to-mid August, with the expectation he would need to play in a few rehab games first. The 35-year old outfielder showed some optimism after taking batting practice during the Mets’ three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim this past weekend.

Marte was having a solid season up until starting his IL stint. In 66 games (254 at-bats) this season, Marte was slashing .278/.328/.744 with seven home runs, 30 RBI, also recording 12 stolen bases, without being caught stealing once. In 270 games with the Mets , Marte has a slash line of .275/.328/.411 with 28 home runs, 121 RBI and 54 stolen bases and a 2022 National League All-Star appearance, though injuries have continuously plagued the outfielder.

Marte will likely replace Tyrone Taylor, hitting .227 in his past eight contests, once he returns. Factoring in a resurgent Jeff McNeil, the Mets’ lineup is much better, have a few more configurations available to them, and will soon be deeper, a set of positives as they aim to remain in the postseason picture into September.

General Manager David Stearns will have difficult decisions regarding this offense in the offseason. Including JD Martinez – the primary designated hitter once he was inserted into the batting order – who is only signed through 2024, Marte would also be entering the final year of a four-year, $78 million contract he signed with the organization prior to the 2022 season.

New York is a respectable 10-8 since the All-Star break following a 6-3 loss Tuesday to the Colorado Rockies, but now sits 1.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves for the final Wild Card spot in the NL. At 59-54 overall the Mets continue their lengthy 10-game road trip and three-game series against the Rockies at Coors Field.
