Ontology of Chemical Entities

Ontology of Chemical Entities refers to the systematic categorization and understanding of chemicals and their relationships within the field of chemistry. In the context of the philosophy of chemistry, it examines what constitutes a chemical substance, how we define and classify different materials, and the implications of these definitions on scientific knowledge and practice. This helps in understanding the nature of matter, the interactions between substances, and the frameworks we use to study and communicate about chemicals effectively. It bridges scientific concepts with philosophical questions about existence and classification in the chemical world.
