Are questions about Chemistry on topic?

Are questions that are borderline chemistry on topic? Since there is not a Codidact community for Chemistry (yet?), I thought the next best match would be Physics Codidact.
In particular I wanted to ask a question about identifying the type of plastic an item is made of using home measurement techniques.

No, this site is about physics, not chemistry. Whether something is on topic anywhere else has no bearing on it being on topic here.
That said, there are some gray areas between physics and chemistry that might be on topic. However, pure chemistry questions like "Why does baking soda fizz up when I pour vinegar on it?" are definitely off topic here.
