Molecular models are helpful in teaching chemistry because they make it easier for students to grasp the threedimensional structure of molecules, unlike two-dimensional drawings. These models also help students visualize and think about molecules in three dimensions. A study found that even though virtual and physical models are equally effective, students should use physical models early on. This is because people usually learn better with objects they can touch and see. Additionally, digital model tools have a learning curve, and it is hard for students to understand some space operations, such as a "chair flip" or bond rotation using digital models. However, digital model representation allows students to look up more information about the molecule, such as the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) name, the boiling point, and the polarity. Students can also modify the molecule and observe how it affects its molecular properties. Therefore, it would be helpful if students could turn physical molecular models into digital ones. *The author is also affiliated with Weathon Software (). 1 The code for this project and the two datasets are available on mol pub. Fig. . Designed Use Case: This model is intended for integration with a mobile application interface; students could capture images of molecular structure representations, and the model would generate a corresponding SMILES string, which can then be used to redirect users to a detailed information page about the molecule.
