The discussion centers on the relationship between chemistry and physics, particularly in the context of pursuing a physics major. It is established that while a basic understanding of chemistry can be beneficial, it is not essential for studying particle physics, which primarily focuses on subatomic particles like protons and electrons. Participants agree that chemistry is more about molecular interactions, whereas physics encompasses broader principles, including high-energy phenomena that do not require chemical knowledge. The consensus is that chemistry serves as a subset of applied physics, with significant overlap in areas like atomic physics.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for physics students, chemistry students, and educators seeking to understand the interplay between these two scientific disciplines, particularly in the context of particle physics and its applications.
chill_factor said:lol what? you have trouble with chemistry but now someone changes the definition of chemistry and now you're an expert and can suddenly do all the problems? like i said before, the best way to solve your problems is not to ask for reassurance here but to talk to a counselor or talk to the professor about how to do the homework .
