study of macroscopic, atomic, subatomic, and particulate phenomena in chemical systems in terms of laws and concepts of physics
Physical chemistry is the study of how chemical systems behave by applying the laws and concepts of physics, looking at everything from tiny atoms and subatomic particles to larger visible amounts of matter. It matters because understanding these physical principles helps explain why chemical reactions happen, how substances interact, and what properties they have, which is essential for developing new materials, medicines, and technologies.
