### Drawing Molecular Structures

To draw the molecules on the canvas, use the available buttons from the Tools, Atoms, and Advanced Template toolbars. Ensure to add charges where necessary. By default, the single bond tool is active.

#### Structure Explanation:
In the image provided, a molecular structure is depicted. Follow these steps to recreate it:

1. **Identify the Atoms and Bonds:**
   - The molecule consists of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and chlorine (Cl) atoms.
   - There is a double bond between two of the carbon atoms (C=C).
   - Single bonds connect the other atoms in the structure.

2. **Understanding the Diagram:**
   - The molecule has the following labelled groups:
     - Two CH₃ groups are attached to a single carbon atom.
     - A CH₃ group is double-bonded to a carbon which in turn is bonded to another CH₃ group.
     - Additionally, there is a hydrogen atom bonded to a chlorine atom (H-Cl bond). The chlorine atom shows an extra pair of electrons, represented by dots.

3. **Drawing Steps:**
   - Start with the central carbon atom.
   - Attach the two CH₃ groups to this carbon.
   - From the same carbon, draw another bond connecting to the double-bonded carbon.
   - Attach the third CH₃ group to the double-bonded carbon.
   - Finally, add the H-Cl bond.
   - Ensure to mark the lone pair on the chlorine atom.

This molecular structure provides an example of how to use the canvas tools effectively to represent chemical compounds accurately with the necessary bonds and charges.

### Tools and Features to Use:
- **Bonds Tool:** For drawing single and double bonds.
- **Atoms Tool:** For choosing and placing atoms like Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Chlorine (Cl).
- **Advanced Templates:** For incorporating lone pairs and special charges.

By practicing with these tools, you can create precise molecular diagrams that enhance understanding of chemical structures and their interactions.
