The study of the fundamental principles and models used to explain and predict chemical behavior.

Quantum mechanics: The study of the behavior of matter and energy at the molecular, atomic, and subatomic level.
Chemical bonding: The study of how atoms combine to form molecules through the sharing of electrons or the transfer of electrons between atoms.
Molecular spectroscopy: The study of how molecules interact with electromagnetic radiation and how it can be used to determine molecular structure and behavior.
Thermodynamics: The study of heat and energy transfer and how it affects the properties and behavior of matter.
Statistical mechanics: The study of how the behavior of macroscopic systems can be explained through the behavior of individual particles.
Electronic structure theory: The study of how electrons are distributed within molecules and how this distribution affects the behavior and properties of molecules.
Kinetics: The study of the rates of chemical reactions and the factors that affect these rates.
Molecular modeling: The use of computational methods to study the behavior and properties of molecules and materials.
Reaction mechanisms: The study of the step-by-step process of a chemical reaction and how it occurs at the molecular level.
Electrochemistry: The study of the relationship between electricity and chemical reactions, and how this relationship can be used to generate and store energy.
