Dear Noel,
  Yes, you can manually add and remove bonds with the Mouse->Add/Remove Bonds
menu item. Select that menu item, and you'll see the mouse cursor turn into
a crosshair. From there, select two atoms and you'll see a new bond appear
between the atoms (be sure that you're using a rep that shows bonds.)
Let us know if you need more help.

Thanks,
  John Stone
