Take a course like "MITx: Introduction to Solid state Chemistry" [0] and while you won't be doing quantum physics except a very basic introduction you'll brush against it all the time.
Depends on what exactly you do in chemistry. Understanding structures like molecules and chemical bonds takes you deep. I
f you only care about macro effects, like how to turn this input into that output in an industrial process than you move away from the low-level basics.
The same as in any field, you get to choose if you want to invent new algorithms or if you care about software architecture - both valid jobs for a CS person but it's different worlds.
