When we talk of the chemistry between people we mean the way they react |
to each other, often on a subconscious level.

Dictionary calls it *dynamic interrelation*.
Charma, vibes, that ethereal (intangible) feeling that passes between two people.
The chemistry of love is an oft used expression. But the feeling or *chemistry* can be bad as well as good.
Electricity is sometimes used synonymously but chemistry is the most commonly used term.
***********************************************************
AHD on CDROM states:
3. The elements of a complex entity and their dynamic interrelation: *Now that they had a leader,
a restless chemistry possessed the group* (John Updike).
4. Mutual attraction or sympathy; rapport: The chemistry was good between the partners.
************************************************************
Also used in the sense of *bad chemistry* leading to a dissolution of the partnership, i.e., business,
marriage, living together, or going steady as examples.

It may (or may not) go back to Goethe using the term "Die
Wahlverwandtschaft" as a title for his 1809 romantic novel. (The term
derives from late-eighteenth-century chemical theory, and is usually
translated as 'elective affinity'.)
