Physics and chemistry use math but are not math. You can't point to an area of math and say "this is physics" or "this is chemistry." There is no chemistry without chemicals. There is no physics without physical processes. In contrast, there are areas of what we now call computer science that are math and predate computers.

You have mathematical physics, which is math. It is about treating physics as math, meaning you have axioms for the different laws of physics and then explore the topic that way. It doesn't care about experiments at all, it is just pure math. They still haven't properly formalized all of current physics that way, so it is ongoing work.
