Add one or more curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in the reaction: To draw the arrows, select More in the drawing menu, then select the appropriate curved arrow. Click on a bond or electron to start a curved arrow. Do not start from an atom. Use the select tool to move the arrow head and tail to the desired placement. The curved arrow changes from red to black when appropriately placed.
