features
d Chemists are only concerned with macroscopic
changes and features

Answer:

Chemists make observations on the macroscopic a scale that lead to conclusions about microscopic features

Explanation:

Many important chemical observations are made on the macroscopic scale. This is because, many of the scientific equipments available are not presently able to provide direct evidence about microscopic processes. Evidences obtained from macroscopic observations could serve as important insights into the nature of certain microscopic processes.

This is evident in the study of the structure of the atom. Most of the evidences that led to the deduction of the atomic structure were obtained from macroscopic evidence but ultimately provided important information about the microscopic structure of the atom.

It is true that Chemists make observations on the macroscopic  scale that lead to conclusions about microscopic  features.

Macroscopic observations are those that humans are able to see with their naked eyes.

Observing macroscopic phenomenon, scientists are able to come up with conclusions at a microscopic level because anything that happens at the macroscopic level is as a result of microscopic occurrences on a much smaller level.

Examples of macroscopic occurrences that lead to microscopic conclusions:

  • Water evaporating when heated allows scientists to conclude that atoms move faster when they gain heat
  • Food decaying allows scientists to conclude that microscopic organisms are working on the food.

In conclusion, the observations we make on a macroscopic scale allow for microscopic conclusions.
