Questions/Answers
organic chemistry?
I've realized that i have to take organic chemistry in college. Can someone tell me what you actually do in organic chemistry?
Study how to synthesize substances with C-H bonds present as well as know why such reactions occur. Goes without saying that you also need to know the naming system as well as the structure classifications of each organic compound you'll encounter Don't worry, it's not that hard ^^
What is the difference betweenchemistry and organicchemistry?
what is the difference between organic chemistry, and normal chemistry? and do i need to learn normal chemistry first in order to learn organic chemistry?
normal chemistry can also be referred to as nonorganic chemistry. The title 'organic' refers to chemicals existing in and derived from plants and animals. You can think of organic chemistry as referring to anything that is alive. That being said, organic chemistry is then paramount to any type of science that deals with plants or animals. This means it is very important if you want to go into medicine, pharmacy, enviornmental science, or anything else that deals with plants and animals. Organic chemistry is also one of the most challenging forms of chemistry; it indroduces many new concepts that can be difficult to grasp. I heard a rumor while I was in school that organic chemistry is the most commonly failed college course. I know that it was difficult for many of the students in my class. To answer your second question, a solid background in normal (inorganic) chemistry is important for learning O chem, kinda like learning to add and subtract is important for learning multiplication and division. They arent quite the same thing, but they are related, and inorganic chemistry is much easier to learn. So while you could learn to multiply and divide without knowing how to add and subtract, that knowledge makes your life much easier.
What is the importance oforganic chemistry to being aPharmacist?
Hi, I'm a student currently in the pharmacological chemistry major. I'm taking upper division Organic chemistry classes right now but I have an extremely bad professor. I'm afraid that he'll leave out important information. I am just wondering how important is ochem is to the profession itself, and pharm degree exams. I know there's a lot more other chemistry such as physical chemistry and biochem in this major, but how important is ochem related to those.
