I'm finding it hard to remember all the organic reactions.

is chemistry really as hard as everyone makes out? I find chemistry very interesting and could sit reading about it all day, whereas some people only study it as they know its well respected!

i find aspects of chemistry interesting but i couldn't read about it or do questions all day the same way i could for physics or maths

no of course it isnt, though i may have a slightly biased view siince i'm reading for a degree in it

Chemistry is as hard as you make it - there are lots of different branches. Organic chemists can't handle maths and the quantum people can't handle hand-waving arguments!

what's the hand waving argument about

and where is there a lot of maths in chemistry?

I wouldve thought organic entailed quite a bit, albeit relatively simple

Maths in quantum theory is some of the hardest maths around, thermodynamics and physical chem in general

Hardest thing about Chemistry is organic chemistry and everything about it. Its as if a small child created this world in its head where things are verily illogical.

Organic chemistry is actually incredibly simple - if you learn the principles, the rules make sense. If you you know the rules, you can construct the reactions and mechanisms. It's many variations on a theme.
