Analyze events through the disciplinary lens of chemistry, applying rigorous chemical principles (atomic theory, bonding, thermodynamics, kinetics), analytical methods (spectroscopy, chromatography, mass spectrometry), synthetic methodologies (organic, inorganic, organometallic synthesis), and subdiscipline frameworks (physical, organic, inorganic, analytical, biochemistry) to understand molecular structure, react...

Structure Determines Properties: Molecular structure—atoms, bonds, geometry—determines all chemical and physical properties. Understanding structure is key to understanding behavior.

Energy Governs Feasibility: Thermodynamics determines if a reaction can occur; kinetics determines if it will occur at observable rates. Both are essential.

Analyzes events through chemistry lens using molecular structure, reaction mechanisms, thermodynamics, kinetics, and analytical techniques (spectroscopy, chromatography, mass spectrometry). Provides insights on chemical processes, material properties, reaction pathways, synthesis, and analytical methods. Use when: Chemical reactions, material analysis, synthesis planning, process optimization, environmental chemistry. Evaluates: Molecular structure, reaction mechanisms, yield, selectivity, safety, environmental impact. Source: rysweet/amplihack.
