Physical and chemical properties are related at the atomic level. A chemical physicist investigates how atoms respond to force and energy while a physical chemist investigates how atoms interact with other molecules. For example, when studying crystals a chemical physicist would evaluate the molecular movement in the crystal lattice when bombarded with different energy sources such as an infrared beam or electrical impulse. A physical chemist would evaluate how the crystal lattice forms based on interactions between molecules and the overall properties that the lattice structure generates in the entire material.
