Yes, sounds good. I also snipped the rest what you said, with
approval.

I must say I don't care too much. If we really have "social", too, then
I see no point in making a special case for Math. But if Science is
essentially "natural science and engineering", I'd vote to keep Math
outside.

Drawing and viewing (macro)molecular structures, analysis of spectra,
chemical simulation
That's too long, isn't it?
Shorter, but also more terse:
All about (macro)molecules: 2D/3D structures, spectra, simulation
I've put all structure viewers into chemistry, even those particularly
designed for (biological) macromolecules, because I don't think it makes
sense to draw a line between these. The description doesn't
specifically mention elements and their properties, but I don't think
this is necessary, and we have one PSE-tool in the list.
