No, a chemist is not likely to determine why planets orbit the Sun, because it is outside the scope of his field of study.
Besides this has already been determined from the observations of astronomers and theories developed by physicists using those observations. Currently Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity gives the most accurate explanation of this (including irregularities in Mercury's orbit that could not be explained in any reasonable manner before General Relativity).

Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
How do scientists work out if an object from space will hit earth soon?
Orbital ephemera. They consider its position relative to the sun, earth/moon, and other planets. Over a period of days they can determine its orbit, and whether that orbit likely intersects ours.
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Planets
Why don't planets have orbit?
All planets orbit around a sun.
What do the 8 planets orbit in?
The 8 planets orbit around the Sun, in ellipses.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
How do scientists work out if an object from space will hit earth soon?
Orbital ephemera. They consider its position relative to the sun, earth/moon, and other planets. Over a period of days they can determine its orbit, and whether that orbit likely intersects ours.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
Do all planets have an orbit?
Yes all planets have a orbit
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Planets
Planets orbit a star?
yes, planets do orbit a star
Do all planets orbit the moon?
No. The planets orbit the sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
What do tiny planets orbit?
Like larger planets, dwarf planets also orbit the sun.
