EPTAnd then you'll be taking a practice question that incorporates 4 topics together and you go 'lawl wtf really?".
But at heart ochem I is pretty fundamentally simple.

1. Choose two organic compounds featured in two separate news articles that have appeared in 2009 (not chemistry journals). 2. Attach a copy of each news article. 3. For each compound, write the name of the compound as provided in the news, and DRAW the correct chemical structure. You may not use a computer-generated structure. 4. List a total of five different functional groups present in one or the other compound. 5. In a few sentences summarize the characteristics of the compound that made it newsworthy. help me find some articles brah | ||

There are several reasons why explosives work less efficiently in water. - Water is inert - Water acts as a solvent to many things, potentially ruining the composition of the explosive I won't dredge this stuff up anymore, but feel free to PM me. | ||

Also, oddly enough, unlike most people, I really enjoyed physical chemistry over organic chemistry. I think part of that had to do with the fact that I had a really good professor and the fact that physical chemistry puts a lot of other parts of chemistry into perspective. | ||

The reason why I think it's hard for most people is because it's completely new material. With Bio/Chem/Physics you probably have some background from high school. But with orgo you're just learning totally new material for a semester and people aren't used to that. They need different ways of thinking/ | ||

College-level orgo is pretty straightforward, but I imagine graduate orgo is a pain in the ass. I didn't dislike orgo only because I did well in the class (I never went to lecture...just read the textbook). Orgo lab, on the other hand, is a pain in the ass.

You'd think that that would make it easy, but he treated the book as mandatory material; anything he taught in lecture was additional material we had to learn. There just isn't enough time in one semester to cover that much. Also, oddly enough, unlike most people, I really enjoyed physical chemistry over organic chemistry. I think part of that had to do with the fact that I had a really good professor and the fact that physical chemistry puts a lot of other parts of chemistry into perspective. My PChem was all theory (all the math and stuff). I didn't feel like I was learning chemistry at all lol. | ||
