Theoretical chemistry
Theoretical chemistry tries to explain data from chemistry experiments. It uses mathematics and computational analysis. Theoretical chemistry predicts what happens when atoms combine to form molecules. It also predicts chemical properties (characteristics) of molecules. An important part of theoretical chemistry is quantum chemistry.
