Check Structure

---

You can check the chemistry of a selected structure, part of a structure, or caption (in Formula style) with the Check Structure command. The structure is checked using normal valences and elements, and defined Nicknames.

To check the valences of all selected atoms in a structure:

1. Select a structure, part of a structure, or caption with a selection tool.

2. From the Structure menu, choose Check Structure.

Each label in the structure is checked. sequentially. When a label is incorrect, a message window appears.

To continue checking the structure when a message appears:

• Click Ignore.

To ignore all subsequent errors in a structure:

• Click Ignore All.

To stop checking a structure when a message appears:

• Click Stop.

The check ends and the atom that is causing the problem is selected.
