is there a chemical difference?

Yes there is .A certain part of a synthetic product( some long scientific name) twists to the left while the same part in a natural product turns to the right.It is this phenomenon that causes the body not to absorb at least55% of a synthetic product.

There is a natural feedback mechanism in the body, to ensure there is the correct level of testosterone. If you add more from outside, the body will try to account for this by reducing its own production, so two other hormones (luteinising hormone) LH & FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) reduce.
High T levels plus low LH & FSH begs the question - where has all this extra testosterone come from?
Also, testosterone can be introduced to the body in various chemical forms - free synthetic hormone (apparently no different to your own), undecanoate, propionate, decanoate, isopropionate, etc.

What Snowey said is correct. Also, synthetic testosterone will cause the other hormones in the body to change to abnormal levels.

Basically, the synthetic product contains multiple stereoisomers of itself, while the natural product only contains one enantiomer
