Relationship between chemistry and physics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marie Curie is the only individual to be awarded Nobel Prizes in both chemistry and physics

The relationship between chemistry and physics is a topic of debate in the philosophy of science. The issue is a complicated one, since both physics and chemistry are divided into multiple subfields, each with their own goals. A major theme is whether, and in what sense, chemistry can be said to "reduce" to physics.[1][2]
