Link to ISIS/Draw download site - a free molecular drawing program from MDL. These is the same company that distributes Chime and other Chemistry/Biochemstry software. All you have to do is provide them with an e-mail address. The program is not very complicated but if you are having trouble with getting it to do what you want, here is a site from Cambridge that summarizes some of the commands.

The site listed above will evaluate your answer instantly so you can find the correct one if you don't get it initially. I will post further practice problems on this site and give some out in class. Additional problems may be found in your old inorganic text-books (if you still have them).
