What is the difference between chemistry and physics?
Accepted Answer
While both chemistry and physics deal with the fundamental properties of matter and energy, their focus and scope differ. Physics aims to understand the fundamental laws governing the universe, from the subatomic particles to the vast cosmos. Chemistry, on the other hand, focuses on the study of matter and its properties, particularly how atoms and molecules interact and transform. In essence, chemistry can be considered a specialized branch of physics that focuses on the behavior of matter at the atomic and molecular level.
