ganic chemistry is the most dreaded of all science classes. It has the highest failure rate, lowest class average and more retakes than any other science course. Yet most schools weigh organic chemistry about the same as general chemistry or physics.

Physical chemistry. I thinking any chemistry major would agree with me on this. Even with in the field of pchem, theoretical chemistry is more difficult a subject than experimental. That’s really not a fair statement, just perception.
The problem is that Calculus is soluble in acetone. By the time Chem students take their physical chemistry course, all knowledge of advanced mathematics has been effectively washed from their brains. You can do organic chemistry by knowing how to count to 8. Inorganic requires counting to 10 and sometimes 18. Analytical chemistry requires fitting to straight lines.
Of course I’m joking in my assessment of my colleague’s fields. But I’m not far from the mark. In all fairness, each subdivision has its own set of intellectual difficulties and requires deep understanding. However,while I’m pretty sure I could teach organic chemistry, I’m 100% sure most of my organic chemistry colleagues could not teach physical chemistry.

If you work in a consistent manner with complete focus and dedication then every topic is easy. And if you don't, then you'll feel all of them are difficult.
So just work time to time on each and every part of the subject and you'll become the master sooner or later.

The best criminals are chemists. Imagine, being able to properly dispose of bodies, knowing how to make drugs, blowing up buildings with highly reactive reagents…
Or, you could twist it and say how chemistry is used to combat crime e.g. chromatography, which is used to find fingerprints, and mass spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy) which is used to detect illegal drugs that are organic compounds.
There's a lot more to chemistry than just equations to learn!

The hardest topic is probably molecular orbital theory and hybridization of orbitals. This general topic takes maturity in chemistry that most undergraduates don’t have.

Just like in anything else in life, it's simple arithmetic, elementary algebra, logarithms and exponential functions, and trigonometry, in that order.
In terms of more advanced math, there's some representation theory of finite groups used to understand symmetries of molecules, especially in the context of spectroscopy, and then in terms of foundations there's all the math used in quantum mechanics (namely: light PDE, functional analysis, and more representation theory), since that's what's ultimately responsible for chemical bonding.

Your skateboard needs new wheels. You ask your father, who is a chemist, for a new set. He tells you that you must make them yourself from basic chemicals. He gives you five liters of formaldehyde, the key to his laboratory, proper safety gear, and access to a very well-stocked chemical storeroom. List all the chemical steps you must accomplish, in order, to convert formaldehyde to skateboard wheels.

Hey buddy
Chemistry is an easy subject which can fetch you a max of 120 marks in JEE main.
Basically the topics of chemistry which is important is most probably easy but generally vast.
Below given are some important chapters:
Arround 2 questions from each
On 2018 total of 9 questions from these chapters
All these comprising atleast 1 questions from each
On 2018 JEE asked 11 questions from these chapters.
Around 2–3 questions from both
On 2018 JEE asked 5 questions from these chapters
JEE generally asks questions from this chapters which are easy and scoring but vast, takes lots of time to get thorough.
From all these chapters listed above JEE asked
On
So you can understand the variation of questions asked.
Note
Physical chemistry is easy but takes lots of practice because chemistry doesnot make sense much.
Thanx for reading

Talk about crime in chemistry
I’m serious!
