SHORT REVIEW ON FREE SOFTWARE FOR CHEMICAL MOLECULAR STRUCTURES

The development of information technology, smart technologies and the growing demand for better visibility has led to the need to create applications in the field of chemistry, which should include primarily a drawing editor for the creation of molecular structures (like 2D, 3D), and their correlation with categories or classes of substances, respectively the creation of databases with physico-chemical properties, correlated with the structure or other instruments, such as the molecular mass calculation. This article is a short review of free software applications available on the Internet, meaning that these type of aplications could become important resources not only for chemists, but also for any scientific and engineering researchers.
