so guys, which parts of chem are we most and least comfortable with?
personally, my weakest topic is the one about scientists and the collaboration crap (first part of chem monitoring and management) and remembering the anion/cation stuff (well its aiiright but a bit dodgy lol) :/
everything else I'm fine with :D

Chem is the most complicated thing ever. I will be lucky to pass tomorrow.

May the examiners go easy on us.

HSC chemistry isn't even hard...and the marking is hard compared to school but in my opinion, it should be harsher.

It doesn't really matter how harsh/easy the marking is as long as it's fairly consistent

It isnt conceptually hard, but it takes a lot of commitment and memorisation, which is hard for most of us when the course is boring as f*ck.

Anyways still gotta learn most of the option topics tonight, but apart from that, favourite is probably esters (idk why), least favourite is that god damn section on acidic oxides and crap, where you have to write craploads.

I wish that the nuclear chemistry part of Production of Materials was a whole module on its own. I found it the most interesting section by far.
