Quantum Mechanics/Quantum Chemistry

Quantum chemistry, a sub-discipline of chemistry that focuses on the properties and behavior of subatomic particles, especially electrons. Without a foundational understanding of electron behavior, it would be impossible to understand the concepts of chemical bonding. The field of quantum chemistry emerged when subatomic particles discovery was made, and there were three very important subatomic particles that were found to make up every single atom. These particles are of course protons, neutrons, and electrons.
