 Chemical physics is a subdiscipline of chemistry and physics that investigates physicochemical phonomena using techniques from atomic and molecular physics and condensed matter physics. It is the branch of physics that studies chemical processes from the point of view of physics. While at the interface of physics and chemistry, chemical physics is distinct from physical chemistry in that it focuses more on the characteristic elements and theories of physics. Meanwhile, physical chemistry studies the physical nature of chemistry. The goals of chemical physics research include understanding chemical structures and reactions at the quantum mechanical level, elucidating the structure and reactivity of gas phase ions and radicals and discovering accurate approximations to make the physics of chemical phenomenon computationally accessible.
