👉 Molecular math involves the quantitative analysis of chemical compounds, focusing on calculating properties like molecular weight, bond lengths, angles, and reaction kinetics using fundamental principles of chemistry and mathematics. Molecular weight is determined by summing the atomic weights of all atoms in a molecule, typically using Avogadro's number to convert atomic mass units into grams per mole. Bond lengths and angles are often calculated using bond dissociation energies and VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory, which predict molecular geometry based on electron pair repulsions. Reaction rates and equilibrium constants are described using rate laws and equilibrium constants, respectively, often modeled with differential equations. These mathematical approaches allow chemists to predict and understand molecular behavior, design new compounds, and optimize chemical processes with precision.
