I think "anon" has it right, chemistry is often confused with lust and infatuation. I think chemistry takes time to figure out, and is really two parts - mental connection and physical. Does he tell the kind of jokes you laugh about? When you talk, does it just seem to flow? Do you "click"? And then, the physical chemistry!! Do you click in the sack? Do you get that tingle in your spine when you're close?
When you're single and having fun, you can kind of pick one or the other. But if you're in a relationship and considering breaking it apart for someone else, you better have both kinds of chemistry with them!
I hope that made sense... good luck!

However, I don't believe that it's fair to break off with someone on the basis of something that is "immediate and intense". It may just be a fleeting physical desire and you may have regrets later on. Try to be more objective in assessing the qualities of one person vs. the other. The basis really is how strongly you can feel for one person over the other, that you would want to spend the rest of your life with him/her.
