Abstract

The discipline of chemistry occupies a special place in science since few of the macroscopic observations can be understood without recourse to sub-microscopic representation or models. Chemical models are constructed to provide a variety of explanations of parts of chemical phenomena. This chapter focuses on the development of modelling in chemistry, using the context of acidity for exemplification.
