Abstract

Chemistry and physics may be separate subjects, but that should not prohibit the use of physics in a chemistry course. When this is done, students can use traditional physics principles or laws for the purpose of understanding chemistry better. Three examples are desccribed in this article in order to show how this can be accomplished.
