Scientists who were trained primarily in physics soon disputed this claim. For Nernst and Perrin, physical chemistry was chemical physics.3 In his Introduction to Chemical Physics (1939), Slater made clear his view that it was a historical accident that physics and chemistry are separate sciences, that the field within which he situated his work was a unified chemistry and physics, and that it is called chemical physics "[for] want of a better name, since physical chemistry is already preempted."4...
