Abstract

The use of modern computer software in the teaching of chemistry creates the basis for the increased interest of students and researchers in chemistry and the transfer and consolidation of knowledge. A chemical computer program is a program used to draw simple and complex chemical compounds as well as perform calculations of complex chemical equations and processes, making it possible to biologically interpret complex systems. This review covers common and mostly free applications that can be used to learn chemistry and to serve as a reference or tool for searching, identifying, and displaying the parameters of various materials. In addition, structured interpretation approaches and programs designed to aid in the description of unknown compounds are analyzed and discussed in this work.
