Question

Why is it difficult to learn organic chemistry?

Answer 1

Same here buddy! :(

So many reactions and structures, wtf.

Answer 2

It is difficult to learn organic chemistry because:-

➡️The number of inorganic chemical compounds known to science is around 100,000, but the number of organic compounds clocks in at over 15 million, and that number is rising rapidly as scientists study and isolate further compounds. Yeah, 15 million.

➡️The second reason ochem is so difficult to learn is that it’s a memorization nightmare.

➡️Not only are there more than 15 million organic compounds, but there are different rules governing the reactions and properties of each of these compounds.

➡️The trickiest part is how often the rules change. Depending on the environment in which a reaction takes place, the same conditions can lead to wildly different results.

➡️The rules are flexible, and there are always exceptions.

Hope it helps!☺️
