10 Questions
What is the principal focus of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM)?
The observable electron density distribution function
According to QTAIM, how is molecular structure revealed?
By the stationary points of the electron density and the gradient paths
What drove the development of QTAIM?
The assumption that atoms and bonds should have a well-defined physical basis
What is the electron density distribution of a molecule?
A probability distribution describing the average manner of electronic charge distribution
Who was primarily responsible for the development of QTAIM?
Professor Richard Bader and his research group at McMaster University
What does chemistry study?

Why is chemistry sometimes called the central science?
Due to its role in understanding basic and applied scientific disciplines
In what ways does chemistry contribute to other scientific disciplines?
By explaining aspects of plant growth
What is the relationship between chemistry, physics, and biology?
Chemistry occupies an intermediate position between physics and biology
How has chemistry evolved over time?
It has evolved and encompasses various areas of specialization
