Chemistry is not for the weak

I was passing through my friends WhatsApp status this evening when I came across a particular photo(a chemistry diagram), Immediately I saw the diagram, a sharp headache taunted my head and gave me a good reminisce on what I passed through studying the subject while in high school. Just check the photo Below to know what I'm talking about.

I didn't bothered to rack my brain on getting the answer because I'll get more "maddd"🤣

To me, that particular section(Organic Chemistry) is the deadlest in the whole chemistry subject...I tried so hard to grasp those names and symbols but they never entered my brain😢

THE SUBJECT I DISLIKED MOST

This is one subject I found so hard to understand during the high school days and that's because the foundation from the beginning was very poor.

Each time I hear people say chemistry is the easiest science subject, I'll be wondering if it's the chemistry I used to do WrestleMania with? or there's another chemistry I don't know.

You see the photo I posted above? That particular topic almost sent me to heaven at my early age. I know the likes of septa(7), octa(8), Deca(10), but once they're being mixed with the protane or alkane, chasing me out of the class would be better for me 🤣.

It'll shock you to know that I passed through the science section of the high school without knowing how to balance ordinary equation....🙈🙈

I tried to flow with it but the more I learned the less I gained (the more you look, the less you see)🤣.

Once I see all those forward and backward arrows, my head will just Scatter. At a time I was grabbing the balancing of equations, getting to know the number of invicible moles and masses, but I got confused at some point because we were dealing more with invisible things🤓...isn't chemistry more of invisible things?

One of the parts I found interest in was the First twenty element and their symbols. Yeah I love this part because the female teacher that taught us composed a song with the twenty element...I wish I can still sing 🤗

I was fond of the likes of Na for Sodium, H for Hydrogen, Li for Lithium etc. But their moles and masses numbers were very far from me🤦

BUT WE PASSED IT VERY WELL

My secondary school was aware of the poor background of chemistry, so they made sure to teach us very well on the possible exam questions in the general exam that will promote us to the next level.

Key points such as the practical aspect which has to do with TITRATION. Oh you remember, right? The mixture of acid, Sodium and water with a litmus paper to identify if the color changed. (This part is for people that passed through this process...)

So we never failed chemistry for anyday ✌️.

I GOT ADMISSION INTO POLYTECHNIC

When selecting course for my higher institution, I made sure to abstain from courses related to chemistry in order not to suffer my brain any further. I didn't understand the simple ones in high school, is it the tough ones in polytechnic I will understand? Lol🤣

I went for civil engineering that has more of physics. Oh! I haven't told you! My best subject in high was PHYSICS, I love anything physics. Infact give me physics and I shall live. Lol🤣

Those calculations in physics were just as simple as if someone is eating noodles, no stress....and this is the physics alot of people complain to be difficult oo! This life is not balanced all. One man's food is another man's Poison.

I did very well in my higher institution because almost all the main courses were physics related, the calculation of force, mass, weight, acceleration, velocity, plotting of sloppy graphs etc.

But during the second year, we met chemistry along the way and thank God the lecturer that took us didn't know anything concerning all those chemical slangs. So he'd come to class and all of us(including the lecturer) would laugh at the funny chemistry diagrams on a borrowed text book and we'll close for that day. Lol🤣

Even in my next life, I'm not sure of chemistry 😁
