Chemistry is too universal and dynamical-changing a subject to be confined to a fixed definition; it might be better to think of chemistry more as a point of view that places its major focus on the structure and properties of substances.
In some way, physic might be consider more "fundamental" to the extend that it deals with matter and energy in a more general way, without the emphasis on
particular substances. But the distinction can get pretty fuzzy; it is ultimately rather
futile to confine any aspect of human endeavor to little boxes.
The real importance of chemistry is that it serves at the interface to practically all of the other sciences, as well as to many other areas of human endeavor. For the reason, chemistry is often said ( at least by chemists!) to be the central science.
Chemistry can be "central" in a much more personal way: with a solid
background in Chemistry, you will find it far easier to migrate into other
fields as you interests develop.
So, just what chemistry?
