Tips and Tricks
- For brief description for each button on the tool, just highlight your mouse over the button and a description box will pop-up
- If you see this little black corner on a button it means it can be expanded. To expand and see additional tools, just click on the corner and the tools will expand.
- A quick way of selecting the atom you require is actually using your Keyboard, for example if I wish to use a Oxygen atom I will press O and this will automatically select Oxygen. Although not displayed in the Periodic table, the deuterium and tritium symbols can be added this way.
