Chemistry General
Just had my first Chem midterm of college. It wasn't too bad, but chemistry is immense... maybe I'll stick to programming, where everything is a little more
consistent.

Chemistry general? Sounds great! I'm at uni and in organic chemistry right now. We're going to have our second exam on Friday, and I'm not very nervous about it
because I scored near-perfect on the first one; the second exam will be on chirality (and related concepts), functional groups (so this >>10 is a good review for me),
and SN1 & SN2 mechanisms. It shouldn't be so bad.
I recently did a lab on thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and that was really fun! Lane 1 is fluorene, lane 2 is fluorenol, lane 3 is fluorenone, lane 4 is the unknown
(obviously fluorenol, as it moved the same distance as fluorenol), and lane 5 is the reference mixture. Dichloromethane was the solvent that was used.

If you have any chem questions, post them here and we'll try to help you with them. Also, if you ever need to look up chemical data, PubChem is your best friend!

Yes.

Enjoyed some of the chemistry in HS (especially seeing how it relates to physics), thinking of doing https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/materials-science-and-
engineering/3-091sc-introduction-to-solid-state-chemistry-fall-2010/ as a refresher and going further. Has anyone completed the course?
Second, is there any interesting (to you) combination of computer science/software engineering with chemistry? It could be research or just applications, thanks.

>Is there any interesting combination of computer science/software engineering with chemistry?
Yes, definitely; have you heard of computational chemistry? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_chemistry
https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/careers/college-to-career/chemistry-careers/computational-chemistry.html
I just had a friend who is majoring in chemistry decide to double major in chemistry and computer science so that he can become a computational chemist.

However, this looks fuarrrking awesome.

Funny, I got a Chemistry + Biology + Physics "blank" exam next Friday (I'm studying medicine). Pretty stressed about it, I have to know everything by heart and
haven't done anything apart of electricity yet.
The cool thing is that chirality and functional groups are things I've already learned in middle school, 'cause colleges' programs haven't changed since the 90s
while schools' one did.
The uncool thing is when teachers assume you already know something you never saw.
(the anime acide made me laugh)

don't worry, chemistry is a bit like programmation when you thing about it. Atoms are like tiny functions that do something particular when they come across other
atoms (you "pass them" to other functions).
So molecules are like high-level functions, combinations of functions, as if you were programming in a functional language.

bumping with chemistry related literature reviews.

I have Peter Sykes' Handbook to mechanism in chem but want some more physchem related stuff.
