I liked it, but it can be a big leap going from chem 1. Chem 1 is mostly about fundamentals: shit like Lewis structures, VSEPR theory, acid-base interactions, and maybe a little bit of redox reactions. Chem 2, at least when I took it, will have you integrating these concepts with other fields like physics and math. If you want a leg up on the class, start studying rate laws, enthalpy equations, bond dissociation, and molecular orbital hybridization.

College is a joke. A waste of time and money

Chem 2 is mostly math, so if you enjoy figuring out things or going from A to B you will be happy.

The thing I keep hearing about is if you liked Chemistry 1 & 2 (Inorganic Chemistry), you will HATE Organic Chemistry. Is this true?
