Is it possible in MarvinSketch to show the carbon atom label in molecules? So far the only way I can do it is by showing explicit hydrogens. However, when you attach the hydrogens yourself to the structure via a bond line, the carbon atom label disappears. I would like to show the carbons explicitly for some Gen. Chem. students who have not learned the bond-line depiction of molecules yet.
Thanks,

You can 'replace' the carbon atom with an alias atom that is called 'C'. Periodic table -> Query tab -> click Alias -> write C into the text field -> Close the per.table -> click the carbon you want to display.
In a future version this feature will be implemented.

An option to display all carbons with the C label has been implemented in MarvinSketch and released in version 5.1.2. You can set this option on the General tab of the Edit > Preferences dialog. There are three options now:
- All carbon labels are visible
- No any carbon label is visible
- The old, and still default behavior: carbon labels are visible only with implicit hydrogen atoms and at carbon atoms with two (and only two) bonds in straight angle.
