In August of 2000, Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD) released the free all-purpose chemical drawing and graphics software ChemSketch; recently, ACD announced its 150,000th download. The software allows users to "click and draw molecules, ions, stereobonds, text, polygons, arrows, and do automatic calculation of Molecular Weight and formula and see estimates of density, refractive index, molar volume, etc." The site offers the download, demo movies, reviews, instructions, requirements, and more. Any professional, educator, or higher level student should definitely check out the site, and see if they could use this free product.
