Theoretical chemistry is a branch of chemistry that uses principles and techniques from theoretical physics, mathematics, and computational science to understand chemical phenomena. It focuses on developing and applying theoretical models, computational methods, and simulations to predict and explain the behavior of molecules and materials at the atomic and molecular levels. Theoretical chemistry plays a crucial role in complementing experimental chemistry by providing insights into complex chemical systems, reaction mechanisms, molecular structures, and properties that may be difficult to study directly in the laboratory.
