If you have money, Cambridgesoft's Chemdraw. If not, ACDlabs' Chemsketch.

Wikipedia has a list of molecular editor programs which includes free ones as well. Personally I use ACD Chemsketch and rarely find it limited for my purposes or MarvinSketch Online for quick doodles. Never tried the actual program, though it seems to have neat perks.
I'm still learning - always check my work/answer.
