Implicit solvation

Implicit solvation is a way of calculating how molecules interact with their environment. When we do this kind of calculation, it's like we draw a big bubble around a molecule and put in a bunch of water molecules inside it. We then use math to figure out how this 'bubble of water' affects the molecule inside it. This helps us understand how molecules interact with their environment, like when they dissolve in water or combine with other molecules to form new substances.
