chemistry

i haven't taken this goofy ass subject in two years and now my university needs me (comp sci) to take it

wtf do i do i need to not fail the placement test

Learn ur periodic table

is it inorganic physical or organic

Become a philosophy major 👌

amyayayy [#3]

is it inorganic physical or organic

i think it's a combination of all of them

Give up

chem is ez jusr learn it up (phy and maths need logic at every step)

i think it's a combination of all of them

oh ok so for

physical- get familiar w mole concepts and stoichiometry (includes concentration of solutions like molarity etc) idk how much your test requires but i feel like basics will do, im pretty sure you know about states of matter already but get your gas laws correct
then absolutely get yourself familiar w different structures of atom and spdf configuration
some acids and bases will help and some oxidation and reduction reactions will help but not necessary dont worry too much but do them if you have time
also do this if you absolutely have to but chemical and ionic equilibrium and thermodynamics help too

inorganic some part of atomic structure falls here too but absolutely learn the periodic table and by that i dont mean memorize every single element there but if you have fun theres a song on youtube i can link. but fr learn all kinds of general trends in the periodic table and understand why different elements are in different groups
focus on s and p block the most and 3d transition elements (youll get what i mean trust)
do some of f block but again not necessary

organic youre probably fucked here coz it takes atleast one month to get even build general concepts but
try to understand carbon and its ability to make bonds
then try to understand what organic compounds are
and then try to understand their nomenclature (IUPAC)
then try some general concepts of organic like isomerism and everything
and then if youre done you should probably know things about aromatic compounds depending if your test needs it

channels- the organic chemistry tutor (teaches everything chem related tho) literally helps me survive and has comprehensive playlists too, khan academy and honestly google theres so many resources barring organic

also stop playing valorant for a few days, try to make chemistry your new love, its rly easy to fall in love with but also rly easy to hate

college is a scam get out while you can or be a slave to system for the rest of your life!!!

Become a philosophy major 👌

some universities (like mine) require intro chemistry regardless of what your major is

how long do you have btw

as a chem major once told me, first-year organic chemistry makes everyone hate chemistry because they don’t know enough to understand it but still somehow need it as a foundation

good vlr user

amyayayy [#13]

how long do you have btw

5 days lmao

i only need like 70% to pass though so it should just be doable since I've learned a lot of this stuff in 9th-10th grade or physics alr

No, I rejected them! colleges aren't schools that want to help and teach you, they are just like every other business in the world! they don't care about helping you all they want is to squeeze ever last cent out of you before sending you off with nothing but a useless piece of paper!!!!!!

organic is either your favourite subject or your most despised subject, no middle ground, much like fracture as a map

oh then let yourself off presure and focus on inorganic and physical, just do chemical bonding for organic and know about alkanes alkenes and alkynes

Yeah organic will be the thing to fuck you if anything. A lot of it was just memorization for me.

Agreed, I hate orgo, but love fracture.

Periodic Table
You can learn everything but you're gonna get buttfucked if you don't know the periodic table

If you only need 70 percent then go for inorganic first, then physical and then organic. Loads of ppl say physical is the easiest but imo inorganic is the most scoring one since all you gotta do is memorize, I make loads of mistakes in big calculations in physical.
