Lewis symbols

Does anyone know how to create Lewis symbols on a computer? I have ChemDraw, but I can't make a Lewis symbol that looks respectable.

Re: Lewis symbols

A search on Google for "draw Lewis structures" led to way too many unhelpful results.

The same question was asked and answeredon the Computational Chemistry list-serv from a dozen years ago:  http://ftp.ccl.net/chemistry/resources/messages/1999/02/11.004-dir/index.html

Go to http://ftp.ccl.net/cgi-bin/ccl/send_ccl_message to ask your question and get an updated answer.

  Good luck!

Re: Lewis symbols

In ACD/ChemSketch there is a template with a number of Lewis structures.

It may not contain what you need, but they are all easily editable.

Hope this helps.
