Contains unique, validated chemical structures (small molecules) that can be searched using names, synonyms or keywords. The compound records may link to more than one PubChem Substance record if different depositors supplied the same structure. These Compound records reflect validated chemical depiction information provided to describe substances in PubChem Substance. Structures stored within PubChem Compounds are pre-clustered and cross-referenced by identity and similarity groups. Additionally, calculated properties and descriptors are available for searching and filtering of chemical structures.

**PubChem Compound is very helpful for students taking Chem Lab where you need to find the Chemical and Physical Properties (example: boiling point, freezing point etc.).

1. Select PubChem Compound

2. Type in compound name (example: alcohol)

3. Look for Chemical and Physical Properties section
