Zooms the structures in the editing erea.
The zoom ratio can be changed by scrolling the mouse wheel.

The Left Toolbar

Selects the structure, moves and rotates it.
Erases the structure from the editing erea.
Draws the new bond and hydrocarbon chain.
Increases the charge of an atom by one unit with each click.
Decreases the charge of an atom by one unit with each click.

The Right Toolbar

Opens the Periodic table and draws the selected atom.
