How to create Radicals in Avogadro?

I want to calculate the energy of radical species in a mass spectrometer with Orca. Is it possible to create radicals or can you introduce this possibility? If it is possible to create radicals please expalin how. What about carbo cations and anions? How can I create such structures with missing bonds but only a single electron or charge?

Sincerely

Hi,

You can set the overall charge and multiplicity on the molecule in the Molecular Properties dialog (under Analyse > Properties).

Highlight an atom and use the delete key to remove it, making a radical or ion.
