3. It is important to learn about quantum mechanics because: A. This information tells us why certain elements may be very reactive while others may be relatively non- reactive. B.This information tells us how atoms grow to become larger molecules. C.This information tells us why certain elements are found as gases at room temperature. D.This information allows us to understand why some chemicals are colorful and others are dull and muted.
