Newbie - How to get 3 images onto 1 slide with 2 on top and one underneath

Question

I have this small example,

\documentclass{beamer}

\mode<presentation>
{
  \usetheme{Boadilla}     
  \usecolortheme{wolverine}
  \usefonttheme{structurebold}  
  \setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
  \setbeamertemplate{caption}[numbered]
\setbeamertemplate{itemize items}[ball]
} 

\usepackage{array,amsmath,booktabs}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[version=4]{mhchem}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subcaption}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{figure}[H]
  \centering
  \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.28\linewidth}
    \includegraphics[clip, trim=1 1.75 3 1, width=50mm,scale=0.35]{Image1}
     \caption{Substrate-Enzyme association}
  \end{subfigure}
  \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.28\linewidth}
    \includegraphics[clip, trim=1 1.75 3 1, width=50mm,scale=0.35]{Image2}
    \caption{Complex dissociation}
  \end{subfigure} \\
  \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.3\linewidth}
    \includegraphics[clip, trim=1 1.75 3 1, width=50mm,scale=0.35]{Image3}
    \caption{Product formation}
  \end{subfigure}
  \caption{Prior and posterior after 100, 200 and 300 reactions for reaction in Micahelis-Menten model}
  \label{fig:boat2}
\end{figure}
\begin{itemize}
\item as more reactions take place, posterior becomes narrower 
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

 \end{document}

And I am trying to get these images to align so that I have 2 images on my top row, then the 3rd image and the following line and centred between the 2 top images.

But everything I try the formatting keeps getting worse and worse.

Hi. I added a related question - I think that the answers there are enough to solve your issue. — Dr. Manuel Kuehner, Feb 12 '18 at 19:27
In principle your code does that, except for the trim arguments of the \includegraphics commands, meaning that there are conflicting directives width=50mm and scale=0.35. Try with only one of those. — , Feb 12 '18 at 19:28

Some comments and observations:

In a beamer document, figure and table environments don't float.
Indeed, in a beamer document, there's little point in employing figure and table environments -- other than, say, as containers for subfigure and subtable environments, I suppose. Oh, and just place the caption material in the argument of \frametitle.
If you really want to fit all three graphs and the itemize environment in a single frame, you will almost certainly have to place all three graphs side by side, rather than 2 on the first row and the third on the second row.
In the code you provided, the width and scale options of the \includegraphics directives are in conflict with each other. Use only option, but not both.

\documentclass[demo]{beamer} % omit 'demo' option in real document
%% I've taken the liberty of streamling and de-duplicating the preamble.
\mode<presentation>%
{ \usetheme{Boadilla}     
  \usecolortheme{wolverine}
  \usefonttheme{structurebold}  
  \setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
  \setbeamertemplate{caption}[numbered]
\setbeamertemplate{itemize items}[ball] } 
\usepackage{array,mathtools,booktabs}
\usepackage[version=4]{mhchem}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Prior and posterior after 100, 200 and 300 reactions for reaction in Micahelis-Menten model}
\begin{figure}
\begin{subfigure}[t]{0.3\linewidth}
     \includegraphics[clip, trim=1 1.75 3 1, width=\textwidth]{Image1}
     \caption{Substrate-Enzyme association}
\end{subfigure}\hfill
\begin{subfigure}[t]{0.3\linewidth}
    \includegraphics[clip, trim=1 1.75 3 1, width=\textwidth]{Image2}
    \caption{Complex dissociation}
\end{subfigure}\hfill
\begin{subfigure}[t]{0.3\linewidth}
    \includegraphics[clip, trim=1 1.75 3 1, width=\textwidth]{Image3}
    \caption{Product formation}
\end{subfigure}
\end{figure}

\begin{itemize}
\item As more reactions take place, posterior becomes narrower.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

As far as I know graphicx is loaded by beamer already, otherwise \includegraphics with overlay syntax would be pretty useless. (I know, the OP has the loading in his/her example) — , Feb 12 '18 at 20:36
@ChristianHupfer - Good point! Indeed, the beamer class loads graphicx automatically. I've edited the preamble to heave off one more package-loading directive. — Mico, Feb 12 '18 at 20:41
Ah, yes. Sorry - missed that. I guess I'm even less clear what the OP actually wants the more I re-read the question. — cfr, Feb 14 '18 at 19:33

You can make use of columns:

\documentclass{beamer}

\mode<presentation>
{
  \usetheme{Boadilla}     
  \usecolortheme{wolverine}
  \usefonttheme{structurebold}  
  \setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
  \setbeamertemplate{caption}[numbered]
\setbeamertemplate{itemize items}[ball]
} 

\usepackage{array,amsmath,booktabs}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[version=4]{mhchem}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subcaption}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}\centering
  \begin{columns}
    \begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
  \begin{figure}
    \includegraphics[clip, trim=1 1.75 3 1, width=30mm,scale=0.3]{Image1}
     \caption*{Substrate-Enzyme association}
  \end{figure}
    \end{column}
    \begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
  \begin{figure}[b]
    \includegraphics[clip, trim=1 1.75 3 1, width=30mm,scale=0.3]{Image2}
    \caption*{Complex dissociation}
  \end{figure} 
    \end{column}
  \end{columns}
\vspace{-10px}  
  \begin{columns}
    \begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
    \begin{figure}[b]
      \includegraphics[clip, trim=1 1.75 3 1, width=30mm,scale=0.3]{Image3}
      \caption*{Product formation}
  \end{figure}
    \end{column}
  \end{columns}
\vspace{-20px}  
\begin{columns}
  \begin{column}{\textwidth}
\begin{figure}[H]
  \caption{\centering{}Prior and posterior after 100, 200 and 300 reactions for reaction in Micahelis-Menten model}
  \label{fig:boat2}
\end{figure}
\vspace{-25px}
\begin{itemize}
\item as more reactions take place, posterior becomes narrower 
\end{itemize}
  \end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}

 \end{document}

Welcome! This definitely seems more Beamer-like. I'm not clear whether the OP wants the gap in the top row or not, but I agree that the question does seem to ask for the third on a new line. — cfr, Feb 14 '18 at 03:33
