A fire requires three things, Fuel, Heat, and Oxygen.
The fuel supplies the energy of combustion, and provides more heat (is exothermic) to keep the fire going.
The oxygen is combined with the fuel and this is the exothermic reaction.
The initial heat is supplied by some external source, such as a match, an electrical short circuit, a chemical reaction.

What is the contribution of chemistry in physics?
contribution of chemistry to physics
Explain the chemistry and physics of fire?
Yes. Fire has both chemical and physical components. The fire fighter knows this, and plans attacks accordingly. The fire itself represents chemical changes, but heat rising is a physical property of matter. It's physics. A lot of the behavior of fire is physics because of the heat and the movement of air and materials around the fire. Fire represents something with strong chemistry and strong physics in play.
What branch of physics and chemistry was developed by physics and chemistry together?
Atomic theory, electrochemistry (batteries and such) and analytical chemistry were developed by both sciences. If you think of it, physics and chemistry are inseparable from each other
Is evaporation physics or chemistry?
Evaporation has more to do with chemistry, but it could be used in physics possibly.
Why there is physical chemistry but not the chemical physics?
There certainly is both physical chemistry (the application of physics techniques to chemistry) and chemical physics (the study of chemical processes from the point of view of physics). See Wikipedia for a fuller answer.

What are least 3 ways that science all around you is demonstrated or seen?
a bird flying - physics a fire burining- chemistry ice melting- physics
Is refraction chemistry or physics?
Physics
Does chemistry and physics have any mathematical application or no?
Mathematics is applied to physics and chemistry.
If you are great at mathematics can you do physics and chemistry?
Not necessarily but Mathematics is the language of Sciences such as Chemistry and Physics, and so if you are great at mathematics, it will certianly help with physics and chemistry.

When was Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics created?
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics was created in 1999.
Which branch are chemistry and physics a sub branch of?
Chemistry and physics are both branches of natural sciences.
Which is radioactivity physics or chemistry?
Physics; more specifically, nuclear physics.
