= Heat of formation group additivity
{wiki=Heat_of_formation_group_additivity}
Heat of formation group additivity is a method used in chemistry to estimate the standard heat of formation (\\( \\Delta H_f^\\circ \\)) of a molecule based on the known heats of formation of its constituent functional groups or molecular fragments. The concept is rooted in the fact that the overall heat of formation of a compound can often be approximated by summing the contributions of different parts of the molecule, such as functional groups, rings, or other structural features. \#\#\# Key Concepts 1.
