Molecular Thermodynamics

Molecular thermodynamics is the study of how energy changes and transfers happen at the molecular level in chemical systems. It combines principles of thermodynamics—which deals with heat, work, and energy changes—with molecular theories that consider how particles interact. By understanding these interactions, we can predict how substances behave under different conditions, like temperature and pressure. This field helps us grasp processes such as chemical reactions, phase changes (like melting or boiling), and the properties of materials, ultimately providing insights into everything from industrial reactions to biological systems.
