 "Physical
chemistry is the study of macroscopic, atomic,
subatomic, and particulate phenomena in chemical
systems in terms of physical laws and concepts. It
applies the principles, practices and concepts of
physics
such as
motion,
energy,
force,
time,
thermodynamics,
quantum chemistry,
statistical mechanics
and
dynamics.
Physical chemistry, in contrast to
chemical physics,
is predominantly (but not always) a macroscopic or
supra-molecular science, as the majority of the
principles on which physical chemistry was founded,
are concepts related to the bulk rather than on
molecular/atomic structure alone. For example,
chemical equilibrium,
and
colloids.". Source:
