Is Chemistry a subject that you are struggling with? Are you investing too much time in Chemistry but not getting your 'A'? Is 'A' walking towards you or distant from you? Are you wondering why others can love chemistry so much but not you? Is it because there is no 'chemistry' between you and the subject - Chemistry? You always pray for an 'A' in Chemistry but it never appear in front of you? Are you wondering how you can eliminate all your Pains in learning Chemistry and Achieve 'A' in Chemistry with the minimum effort but Maximum Result?
How precisely you need to do to get 'A' in Chemistry. Is it a Possible or Impossible? If it is impossible, how exactly you need to do to make it happen - possible. How? How? How? I am going to tell you that You have the Choice! Every student needs a Teacher to guide. You are now a student in 'Chemistry' maze and you are figuring out how to get out of the Maze and wondering where is Exit? You are using 'Trial and Error' in the 'Chemistry' Maze but in vain. You are tired just before you can find your way out. You are sitting in the Maze hoping there is someone holding your hands and bring you out of 'Chemistry' Maze as fast as possible.
One question I get a lot from students is "Why do we have to take chemistry? What's it good for in the real world?" Actually, that's two questions, but I'll answer them anyway.
Chemistry is used in everything we do in modern society. The aspirin (or acetominophen, or ibuprofen, or naproxen sodium, or ketoprofen, etc.) you take when you have a headache was manufactured by chemists working for pharmaceutical companies. The gasoline you use to operate your car was formulated by petroleum chemists to give it the best possible operating properties. If you have contact lenses, the plastics used to make the lens, as well as the solutions you use to clean them were developed by chemists. No matter where you go, there's chemistry!
But the question remains: If you're not going to be a chemist, why do you need to know how this stuff works? Shouldn't you just be happy that it works at all?
Honestly, you don't really need to know the exact details of all the chemistry in your lives. Chances are that it would take you years to learn all the chemistry, and even then it wouldn't be all that handy to know. However, that's not my (or any other teacher's) goal in teaching you chemistry. I'm not trying to teach you everything - I'm just trying to give you enough of a background that you can understand some of the basics of what's going on around you. There are too many people trying to make money off the ignorance of people who haven't bothered to learn chemistry, and I don't want you to become one of them.
An example: There are pills you can buy which advertise that they contain "life-giving oxygen." This sounds wonderful! Let's go buy some. However, you need to realize at the same time that water also contains "life-giving oxygen." If you're trying to get healthy, I'll only charge you half as much for a glass of water as these other guys are charging you for the pills. If you don't know any better, you might get roped in by that scam.
I want you to learn chemistry because it helps you to realize what's good and what's garbage out in society.
