Building a moleule of H2O

  • click on the "periodic table" button, at the far left of the grey window:

  • then in the periodic table that comes up click on the "oxygen" atom, then at the bottom of the window select the bonding option for two individual single bonds

  • goto the moluecule builder window (purple one) and click in the center

  • each time you click in the builder window you will create another moleucle of water

  • however at the moment we just want one so use the Edit tab (top line in the grey window) to remove the waters just added, to leave a single water
  • if for some reason you need to start fresh, closing the existing purple window will discard that molecule, then you can use the File tab to make a new molecule window
