It’s already midnight. I wish the person behind organic chemistry lose his sleep cycle 😁 Don’t get angry 😁😅
My first school accepted a lot of folks and then weeded them out of the majors they were known for. Organic chem was the course that turned many science majors into history or english majors
Chances are they already did
I still have nightmares about my o-chem final. 25 years later…
What is organic chemistry and how do i get behind them?
Organic chemistry is the hardest part of chemistry
To be honest not the hardest but super hard and takes really long time to get into it
Oddly, I found it far more intuitive and entertaining than gen chem, yet barely got through orgo 1 with a D
For me it was the opposite. Classic chemistry: redox / pressure / temperature. Three dials and you’ll get what you want as long as the atoms are there.
Compare to
Here’s how glucose relates to the ADP/ATP cycle! It doesn’t work unless temperature is 37C ± 1C
That’s biochem. O chem is is this reaction a substitution or replacement. Does this catalyst make a product in cis or trans orientation. Etc
Gen chem had a lot of shit about molecular angles and types of bonds and polarity.
