Physicists think differently than mathematicians. Mathematicians value pure logical consistency which follows from fundamental axioms and applications of pure reason. Physicists are scientists who want to build a theory that will predict nature. Physicists find that mathematics helps them do so, and so they use math for that purpose. But, in my opinion, mathematics works so well for physics because mathematics describe nature at a fundamental level. It just takes a while to get to it.
For example, Isaac newton invented differential and integral calculus for the purpose of evaluating problems involving forces. Force = mass*acceleration, and the double integral of acceleration with respect to time is distance traveled.
Mathematicians didn't fully accept Newton's calculus for around 100 years until someone defined limits, which are required for derivatives and integrals, in a rigorous mathematical format called the delta-epsilon definition. I won't go into here, but it would be something to look into.

In my experience, working for professional physicists and engineers, the questioner is seeking an explanation for a myth, or at least a grave misunderstanding. Whilst Pure Mathematics may be away with the fairies at times, you are at a serious disadvantage for physics and chemistry - and engineering - if you have a WEAK background in maths.
Just come back to this by chance. Answers ought keep the credits right and sort out the lack of [CRLF] in the typing. My part was only the paragraph after the plus signs.
Because they are based more on theory than numbers and facts
Because math, physics, chemistry and computer science are not the same things. Just because you're good at using maths doesn't necessarily mean you're not good at applying them. Theoretical and applied mathematics are widely considered very different fields.

It really depends. If you are good at understanding the concepts of math and you think you can grasp the concepts of physics (which is not bad at all), then you will do fine in physics. Physics is like 50% math 50% concepts. This is my second year of physics (I am doing Physics with Calculus now) and it really isn't as bad as most people think.
No. Not at all. A person who is good at mathematics has an advantage when studying physics as much of physics is explained (or can be explained) in mathematical terms. It is no guarantee to excelling in physics as there are difficult concepts to grasp, but it is certainly not a disadvantage and so the premise of this question is without foundation.
Generally the opposite is true as chemistry and physics are heavily mathematically based
Only in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry laboratories.
Social sciences are studies of how people interact. Chemistry- like physics and biology- is part of the "hard" sciences.
They need a deep knowledge of astronomy, cosmology, physics, mathematics, chemistry.
With a background in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, you can pursue careers in medicine (MBBS), dentistry (BDS), pharmacy (B.Pharm), biotechnology, biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, nursing, physiotherapy, environmental science, or pursue further studies in these fields. Other options include careers in research, nutrition, or healthcare administration.
Food science jobs that require a background in chemistry involve food preserving and deteriortion. These people also have to make sure all the ingregients are safe for consumtion.
Yes. You can look at the Hispanic Scholarship Fund which provides supports your people of your background to go to college, though they will probably give it to the more disadvantaged students first.
They are called meteorologists; but also exist specialties as physics of the atmosphere, chemistry of the atmosphere.
This can vary depending on personal preferences. Some students may find more enjoyment in chemistry due to its focus on chemicals and reactions, while others may prefer physics with its emphasis on understanding the physical world and its laws. It ultimately depends on individual interests and learning styles.
