Technical Definition
Using computer simulations to solve problems and understand chemical phenomena.
How it works
Computational chemistry leverages computer programs to model chemical systems and predict their properties. This allows researchers to study reactions, molecular structures, and material behaviors that are difficult or impossible to observe directly in a lab.
