Music is something organized. Perhaps there is some relationship between chemistry and music in their organization. What I like in music is to see the full picture, to see how it has been constructed. I also like tense music, Bela Bartok, for instance, and Beethoven. I like music when there is a stream, when it is flowing. Gabriel Faure, also. I like its intensity. I also like Bach but more for its construction. 

You will describe the relationship between chemistry and matter. 

Chirality has been an area of enormous interest and significance for chemists. The identification of an enantiomeric excess in some amino acids found in a meteorite (Science 1997, pp. 275, 951) has generated a lot of excitement among chemists because chirality even figures in discussions of the origin of life. Robin Le Poidevin, in the chapter "Space and the Chiral Molecule," provides an instance of a reciprocally beneficial relationship between chemistry and philosophy. He examines some implications of the phenomenon of chirality in chemistry—optical isomerism in particular—for standard philosophical positions about space. At the same time, he shows how an understanding of "spatial realism" allows us to better appreciate the often subtle differences between different kinds of isomerism.

Many years ago, early chemical investigators discovered a remarkable connection or relationship between chemistry and electricity. With the outline of the electron theory fresh in our minds this statement should not be amazing. The science which deals with electricitv and chemistrv has been called electrochem-istry from a combination of the two words. It will be within the province of this book to briefly consider this particular phase of chemistry, which is very important. 

In an incredibly short time we have moved from a period of ample and cheap supplies of pefroleum to one of high prices and uncerfain supplies. If our presenf sfandard of living is to be maintained, we must find alternatives to petroleum. To do this, we need to know the relationship between chemistry and energy, which we explore in this chapter. 

The notion of supervenience has been much discussed in recent years throughout the philosophy of science. Indeed, some authors have even drawn on the relationship between chemistry and physics to illustrate their basic arguments about the supervenience relationship (Papineau, 1993). In doing so, however, it has been assumed that the relationship between chemistry and physics does not raise any particular problems of its own. Thus, as in many discussions of the appropriateness of chemistry and physics as an example of pure reduction, the relationship between chemistry and physics has been taken by some to represent a paradigmatic case of true supervenience. 

What is more, in the case of the relationship between chemistry and physics, the claim of ontological reduction is even weaker due to the epistemological irreduc-ibility of the theories of chemistry to the descriptions supplied by physics. In this scenario, the insistence on the ontological dependence of chemical entities and regularities upon the physical domain is not justified the burden of proof lies on the non-pluralist realist. 

Strictly speaking, Manafu s argument is completely correct, even with respect to the Kantian-rooted ontological pluralism that improves the internalist position of the original 2005 paper (see Lombardi and Perez Ransanz 2012). However, it does not dismantle our pluralist conclusions about the relationship between chemistry and physics. I will analyze separately each of the two situations mentioned by the author. 

The real challenge in polyurethane foam formation is to control the chemical and physiochemical processes up to the point where the material finally sets. The sequence and the rate of the chemical reactions are predominately a function of the catalyst and the reactivity of the basic raw materials, polyol and isocyanate. The physiochemical contribution to the overall stability and processability of a system is provided by the silicone surfactants. Optimum foaming results will be achieved only if the correct relationship between chemistry and physics exists [4]. 

The inclusion of sustainability and environmental contexts into ehemis-try education can have a significant impact on students awareness of how chemistry is conneeted to the real world. Students beeome more aware of the relationships between chemistry and the society in whieh they live. Basic science knowledge is crucial for promoting sustainable development... 

This chapter has only scratched the surface of the opportunities and possibilities to demonstrate the natural relationship between chemistry and toxicology. Some of the topics that were not discussed include oxidation and oxidative stress, the influence of electrolytes on calcium homeostasis, immunotoxicology, focusing on biochemistry and applying frontier molecular orbital theory to predicting adverse outcomes. A discussion of catalysis may include the role of enzymes in toxication and detoxication, for example the mechanisms of action of organophosphate pesticides on the function of acetylcholinesterase. 

The interesting question raised here is the relationship between chemistry and modern atomic physics and, in particular, quantum mechanics. The popular view reinforced in most textbooks is that chemistry is nothing but physics deep down and that all chemical phenomena, and especially the periodic system, can be developed on the basis of quantum mechanics. There are some problems with this view, however, which are considered in this book. 

But in addition to any pedagogical implications, the relationship between chemistry and physics has become increasingly important in philosophy of science. In particular, the recent growth of the philosophy of chemistry as a distinct subdiscipline has been based to some extent on examining the question of the reduction of chemical laws, chemical models, and representations, such as the periodic system, to fundamental physics. 

It appears that one of the best ways to explore the relationship between chemistry and modern physics is to consider the status of the periodic system. Given the renewed interest in the philosophy of chemistry and in the periodic system itself,a reassessment of these basic issues is now required, and this is attempted in the chapters of this book.
