The Basic Structure of Molecules
Molecules are governed by quantum cacks, which means that many aspects of how they behave are quantized. Molecules flop around the minute and then gradually go down to a state with maybe lower energy where it's not flop around as much. That transition has to happen by a definite quantum event, like the emission of a photon or an infrared light. How would molecules connect to each other? Well, that's a pretty hard thing to calculate.
