Missing sources[edit]

the link of footnote 10 is the homepage of the Dept of Labor - couldn´t find the specif statistics the link is supposed to provide. Would you point to the specific source, or at least name the white paper/table being used in this case?

More references[edit]

We need more references. The part that describes the course of study in a 'typical' undergraduate programme of chemistry and physics is dubious, to say the least. The programme of study described is by no means uniform across universities, let alone across countries.--Gulivar (talk) 05:05, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why do we even have this article?[edit]

After reading this article, I can't help but feel worried over the possibility that whoever created this article aimed to settle some sort of uneasy, antagonistic contrast between both sciences. Why don't we have an article comparing physics to mathematics, or chemistry to biology, yet we have this? It is already bad enough that the relationship between the respective scientific groups of both disciplines has deteriorated over the years (with one boasting that physics is "the fundamental science" while the other boasts that chemistry is "the central science"). Please let's not use Wikipedia as a battlefield between disciplines or ideas. --186.185.145.180 (talk) 03:55, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As a college student pursuing a degree in chemistry, but also interested in physics and mathematics, this article was helpful in distinguishing and comparing the two. The article clarifies the boundary quite well, in my opinion. Even though it is an unorthodox topic for an article, it's definitely not unworthy of discussion, much less a tribalistic 'battleground' for the two fields.

I agree with OP. I think this is basically an essay—not poorly written, but also not a good fit for Wikipedia. We're about facts, not discussions. If possible, I think it should be split into the Chemistry and Physics articles; I don't think it belongs here. EpsilonCarinae (talk) 17:57, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Widespread article bias[edit]

This article presents Chemistry and Physics in a way that presents as novel research or opinion. Chemistry is often described as electron-shell physics to distinguish between the scopes of the two disciplines. There is nothing in chemistry that is not contained in physics but physics contains so much more. This article doesn't reflect the interesting reality of the relationship and seems like an individuals justification as to the existence of chemistry, which is unnecessary. 2601:182:4381:E60:657F:A9F:892B:FEFF (talk) 20:51, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Like I mentioned two and a half years ago in the above query, this article is nothing but a potentially problematic battlefield between both sciences, and still today I disagree with its existence. This reads like something Eric Scerri or Phillip Ball (who are well-known defenders of chemistry and detractors of physics) would have written in a blog or something. --206.62.162.123 (talk) 18:37, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Overhaul[edit]

Per the comments at both the chemistry and physics WikiProjects, where the consensus was that this article was an essay unsuitable for the encyclopedia, I have stubbified it. I also changed the title to parallel that of Relationship between mathematics and physics. XOR'easter (talk) 22:08, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
