If only my college chemistry class started here. I really enjoyed physics but for some reason never grokked chem. This might’ve changed all that.
- kazinator 3y agoI wouldn't jump to a hasty conclusion; you've not seen what their final exam would look like. "Write 4,000 to 5000 word essay, on the follies of VSEPR (valence shell electron pair repulsion) theory. Highest scoring work will be published on aeon.co."
- cammikebrown 3y agoI have a physics degree but I never took chemistry (not even high school, I was too busy with AP Physics). It’d be nice to learn eventually… anyone have any textbook recs? College level is presumably fine
- bowsamic 3y agoIt’s too complicated to start from first principles to do any kind of chemistry. We even only have a semi empirical formula (SEMF) for estimating the masses of atomic nuclei
