Abstraction Description: Chemistry is a central science in that, at its core, chemistry is the understanding of the way atoms and molecules interact. Chemistry influences many areas such as physics, biology, pharmaceuticals, materials, and chemical engineering. Computational chemistry, while a relatively young part of the chemistry field, has become a third pillar in the science […]
