Is there a Japanese word or phrase for the chemistry in a relationship?

And by "relationship", I don't mean a strictly romantic one. It could be the
chemistry between best friends, or even the lack of chemistry when meeting
someone new and feeling like the two of you don't click.




I would say that the most versatile counterpart would be 「相性{あいしょう}」. It can
be used in any kind of interpersonal relationships including romantic ones.

We say:

> 「(Person A) + **と** + (Peson B) + **は** + 相性がいい。」 or
>
> 「(Person A) + **と** + (Peson B) + **は** + 相性が悪{わる}い。」

Every once in a while, you will encounter the word 「ケミストリー」, but it is not
very common at all.
