Why is chemistry the most demanding science in terms of intellect and required practice to master?

Is it the combination of practical skills, visual and spacial perception, its unpredictable nature or the fact that it bridges physics with biology?
Or all of the above?

i'd say it comes from the visualization aspect is definitely the biggest deterrent to people being "mastering" it. i think the fact that most chemistry educators are more focused on academia rather than teaching leads to a cycle of people finding the science dull or difficult. most students i work with (tutor/ta) have problems with self-studying and typically rely on their teachers to spoon-feed concepts which is something profs wont do overwhelmingly.

Chem is like the jack of all trades, master of none as far as science goes. Easily B tier.

Im self studying chemistry at those because Im a business student and I found my chemistry passion only a month ago, so far I still enjoy it

Chemistry is literally the most brainlet natural science, wtf are you going on about? Chemists are even behind Industrial Engineers in terms of intellect.

Chemistry majors are definitely ahead of most general biology majors, but the neuroscience and genetics focused bio majors are way above chem

I thought about swapping to chemistry from physics sophomore year for the easy B.S. Too many brainlets in the classes and not enough rigor in the curriculum though. Chem is comparable to engineering in terms of intellectual demand and workload. Meaning its pretty damn easy compared to other STEM fields.
