chemical characterization

Chemical characterization is the process of identifying and understanding the specific chemical components and properties of a substance. It involves analyzing what molecules, elements, or compounds are present, their structures, and how they behave under different conditions. This information helps scientists determine the substance’s composition, purity, and potential uses, ensuring quality and safety. Essentially, chemical characterization provides a detailed "fingerprint" of a material, allowing researchers to understand its nature and how it might interact in various applications.
