It is impossible to explain the abundances of some gas-phase and most condensed-phase interstellar molecules without the use of grain chemistry. Nevertheless, grain-surface chemistry is relatively poorly understood for a variety of reasons. Our current knowledge of this chemistry and its use in interstellar models is discussed along with specific needs for future research.
