I need to take one of these classes in order to graduate:

1) calculus based Principles of Physics part 2
2) college level Organic Chemistry part 2

which one is easier? why do you think so?
Please let me know. Thank you!!

I know there are $30-40+ kits. But that is more than i would like to spend on them.

ive tried gummy bears and tooth picks but somehow they just crumble.
all suggestions welcomed.

MerM asked:


I am planning to go to pharmacy school..I was wondering if it is gonna be a problem to get B in your organic chemistry. The class is really hard . it is one of the hardest class in my university for undergrad students. will the schools that i am going to apply look for the fact that I took the course in university rather than in community college? If some one can give me an answer that would be great…..
Thanks……

What can I do to make myself understand Organic Chemistry?

enomis225 asked:


Last year I took Organic Chemistry I, had a miserable teacher, learned and understood very little, and somehow ended with a C minus. With no background of understanding at all, I took Organic II, tried to understand but it didn’t work. I read the text, class notes, bought Organic Chemistry Demystified and tried sparknotes, made flashcards, spent time in the professor’s office reviewing things; but failed to understand the material when it was on the test and ended with a D. Now, since the courses are required for my major, As much as I despise it, I have to re-take Organic Chemistry from the beginning but I need some help. What else can I do….I just cannot get the reactions in my brain and understand other concepts.

For those who have taken Organic Chemistry, what is the difficulty level and do you need to have a lot of background in math and general chemistry to be able to do well in it or not?

Can someone please explain the difference between Sn1 and Sn2 reactions in organic chemistry?

I know basic concepts that Sn2 reactions have the ability to stabilize negative charges and that they also favor polar aprotic solvents .

Any help is greatly appreciated, I have a quiz over the material tommorow, and just need help grasping the concepts a little better.
