The mkiv chemistry module (replacing the mkii PPCHTEX code) uses
tighter spacing around the nodes, which looks nicer with single atomic
symbols. You are placing CH and CH_2 groups so it is necessary to
increasing the spacing at these spots. One trick could be:
\chemical [ONE,.2MOV1]
which moves .2 bond lengths in the x-direction.
You also need to pay attention to the automatic alignment of symbols,
in particular when using ONE. For Z0 is centered, Z1 is right adjusted,
Z5 is left adjusted... One can explicitly fix the alignment using:
\chemical [ONE,simalign=lft,Z1]
(MetaPost alignment keys) but it is much easier to leave simalign=auto
and to choose appropriate nodes (using [ONE,MOV1,Z0] rather than
[ONE,Z1] for example).

\chemical [rulecolor=red,ONE,B]
Of course, it is a "global" so you will need to use multiple calls in
order to color particular bonds.
