Chemical structure diagram, importance chemistry

The chemical structure diagram is an important component of the natural language of chemistry. Any two chemists talking about chemistry will quickly reach for... 

The point of naming a compound is to be able to communicate with other chemists. Most chemists are happiest communicating chemistry by means of structural diagrams, and structural drawings are far more important than any sort of chemical nomenclature. That s why we explained in detail how to draw structures, but only gave an outline of how to name compounds. Good diagrams are easy to understand, quick to draw, and difficult to misinterpret. 

The structure and composition of a nanocrystalline surface may have a particular importance in terms of chemical and physical properties because of their small size. For instance, nanocrystal growth and manipulation relies heavily on surface chemistry [261]. The thermodynamic phase diagrams of nanocrystals are strongly modified from those of the bulk materials by the surface energies [262]. Moreover, the electronic structure of semiconductor nanocrystals is influenced by the surface states that He within the bandgap but are thought to be affected by the surface reconstruction process [263]. Thus, a picture of the physical properties of nanocrystals is complete only when the structure of the surface is determined. 

The main contribution of non-linear chemistry is the pitchfork bifurcation diagram. A stable state becomes uixstable and bifurcates into two new stable branches. We are unable to foresee which one of these states will be chosen by the nature of the physico-chemical reaction. The multiplicity of choices gives its full importance to Ae evolution of the systems. This paper has aimed to show the extent to which the concepts of non-equilibrium and of deterministic chaos sublimate the fundamental physical laws by leading us to the creation of new structures and to auto-organization. Chemistry is no exception to this rule. The final conclusion is given by Jean-Marie Lehn [21], Nobel Prize Winner in...
