Valence Error

  • Checker searches for valence errors.

  • Fixer offers removing explicit hydrogens if applicable (fixvalence).

Note : Valence errors with no removable hydrogens have to be corrected manually.

Current limitation: If an R group definition contains an S group with valence error inside, the checker reports about the problem but no fixer is applied (even if the valence error could be eliminated with H removal).
