what is one major difference between chemistry and physics
Answers
Chemistry and physics are branches of science that both study matter . The difference between the two lies in their scope and approach. Physics and chemistry may overlap when the system under study involves matter commonly encountered on earth, composed of electrons and nuclei made of protons and neutrons.
Chemistry studies the activities and properties of all inorganic and organic matter. A scientist may choose to focus his work in general chemistry or specialize in either inorganic or organic chemistry. Chemistry procedures are reproducible, and all theories or hypotheses are tested in order to verify reliability of the hypotheses. Chemistry deals with the chemical composition and reaction of matter.
The science of physics also involves the study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other, but physicists are generally looking for the base answer as to why or how matter reacts the way it does.
