Big Picture

Understanding chemical structure and bonding is the foundation for being able to anticipate the behavior of chemicals in chemical reactions. Once chemical reactions are understood and their products can be anticipated, chemical reactions can be used to produce products that are needed or wanted. The concentration of chemical solutions plays an important part in predicting the products of chemical reactions as the concentration of solutions participating in reactions affects the product yield of those reactions.
