Which is harder, Chemistry or Physics? - Page 2

^ I started taking anatomy because I heard we got to dissect piglets. but then I started skipping school and getting high. totally missed out on that awesomeness

frogs were okay, but a pig would have been cooler

Chemistry is so easy IMHO.

Physics is harder than Chemistry. They're both hard but Physics is far more complicated than Chemistry.

Environmental Science will probably be easier than Chemistry. I can't guarantee it but it usually is.

But try to pick what interests you because if you enjoy something you'll probably find it easiest.

Well,I have absolutely no problems in Chemistry.Neither in physics.I suppose it depends on your abilities to understand things.This is a thing which gave me a great advantage in studies.So you should choose,the subject you understand the most.I can say only this,because I can't make differences between the subjects' difficulties.

answer this for me then. what is the chemical process needed to convert vegetable oil into bio diesel and the substance used in making soap? The vegetable oil is a compound that needs a reaction of some sort to occur in order to separate out the two aforementioned substances. What is the change needed?

I say screw taking classes that aren't needed to graduate unless it is in an area that interests you and you would like having a job doing that kind of stuff. Do you see yourself being a structural engineer/architect/construction worker - learn the physical sciences. Do you see yourself being a chemist or biochemical engineer? - learn chemistry. Do you see yourself being a veterinarian/doctor/nurse? - learn the life sciences. Do you see yourself doing eco-type work? - learn the Earth sciences.

Well,I say that too,but judging by the exam we took today,it isn't easy for anyone.They ALL asked for my help.I did 2 tests today(mine and my friend's).

Eh,knowledge is a BIG responsibility...

For me personally at high school, chemistry was more difficult than physics.

But the thing with both is, the more you understand it, the easier it will get. It has been said therefore, that the topic you have most trouble with, should be the topic you delve most deeply into.
This was in the context of my education system, where we had to take both at a basic level, but could choose to get them on a deeper level as well. If you're just wanting to get through it and have to pick only one of the two... For me personally it'd be physics. It was little more than applying formulas.

CerebralAssassin · 13-03-09, 20:06

it's not a question of which is easier...it's a question of what you like the most.

that being said,physics is a little bit more involved with the math than chemistry is,but I wouldn't say it's easier than physics.both have their subtleties...

well,it's never too late to go back to school if you want!

I may just do this chemistry project instead of going to school:

For me, Physics was harder. Chemistry was a piece of cake and more fun.
