You will have to be more specific: black and white? color negative? color slide? Polaroid instant film? Do you mean how do the developing chemicals act on film? Broadly speaking, "chemicals" has more to do with development whereas compounds would apply to film.
Films are coated in silver halides. When the film is exposed it has what is called " a latent image'. It stays like that until it is developed. Once the film is developed the silver halides turn into black metalic silver halides. At this point we have both on the film and we have to removed the unexposed and undeveloped silver halides. This is done by fixing the film using in and acid mixture that removes the unexposed halides and stops any further developing of the film. The film is then washed until the chemicals are removed. It is then dried.
With colour films there are three layer of emulsion. Each layer is sensitive to a particular colour. The process is basically the same as above except that after the silver halides have been processed the colour chemicals are released on each layer by the chemical process.
processing film chemicals used /unused
Wet photography is using film, chemicals, darkroom and photographic paper. (Since the chemicals are wet.)Dry photography is using digital camera, computer and printer.
The film is oxidized / reduced by the chemicals to form the image.
The film is pre-treated with chemicals that react to light and create the image. It is then processed in a photographic laboratory with chemicals to reveal the image.
In the world of photography, film development involves processing the exposed film in chemicals to create a negative image. The film is then scanned using a specialized machine to convert the negative image into a digital format for editing and printing.
Analog or traditional photography that uses film coated with light-sensitive silver halide crystals is known as conventional photography. The film is exposed by light coming through a lens, producing a latent image. To create negatives and prints, this is subsequently chemically developed in a darkroom. Digital photography, on the other hand, makes use of electronic sensors.
Exposing film to light causes the chemicals on the film to react and capture the image. This process is essential for creating a photograph.
Some unique and thoughtful film photography gifts for a friend who loves film photography could include vintage camera accessories, a personalized photo album, a photography workshop or class, a subscription to a film photography magazine, or a custom-made film roll keychain.

Sort of, but digital photography does not use chemicals. Images are printed using printers and the inks are chemical compounds, but there are no developing chemicals used.
When film is exposed to light, the chemicals on the film react to the light and create an image. This process is called photochemical reaction. The image is then developed and fixed onto the film, creating a photograph.
