Yes, learn all the underlying physical laws and the chemistry stuff will follow logically

Where should I start?

quantum mechanics at the plank length

since you seem like an idiot I'll make it clear, he's trolling you. and to answer you question, no.

nobuddy knows nigga
Your lord jesus christ just made it that way
Or maybe it just made itself
Or maybe there's a funuhhhhmental GUTTY lurking down there and it's all defined by one super special group with all the nicest symmetries and that's the only way it can possibly be

For schoolwork no. But historically, chemistry discoveries were done by highly-original thinkers.

that require memorization tho

I did it. When I was at school, I didn't learn anything, I just memorised the basics myself, not learning by heart or smth, in high school there was preparation for exams - I didn't prepare. On the last day before the EГЭ (Russian past exam) I reviewed the courses on YouTube overnight, passed 76/100 points with stupid mistakes, bc I was too exited. It is necessary to take into account that I am in Russia, of course, it all depends on your teacher and basic knowledge. The tests are of the same type, it is easy to calculate the answer only on the basics.
Btw I am now finishing the 4th year of a bachelor's degree in chemical technology, I haven't taught a single discipline for a day, but I still understand the subject more than many students.
As a result, everything depends more on your interest in discipline and even more on your mindset.
>>
yes but it's absolutely infeasible
if you want to actually learn chemistry i suggest chemistry the central science it's got five authors whose names i forgot but it's like the bible for high school chemistry
>>
My orgo Prof says not to memorize anything. Is he trolling me
>>
>>16816486
You can use shortcuts if you understand what you're doing or seeing, but I don't think you can completely ignore memorization. But it can be fun and very rewarding.
>>
>>16816955
not if you know the "grand unifying theory¨TM" and can derive any formula you want from that
>>
>>16816955
>that require memorization tho
On the same order of a few words a month. You can pretty much derive the entirety of an undergrad physics understanding from a mathematical physics text and the intro chapters of standard texts. That's pretty much all you need to do any problem you'll come across.
When I started my matsci PhD, I was actually kind of blown away by the sheer volume of shit my chemistry-trained peers had and how little it carried them. Meme fucking degree aside from the benchwork.
>>
>>16816486
No.
Some memorization will be required. If you rely exclusively on memorization, however, you won't learn much chemistry
>>
>>16816525
You're on the wrong side of the dunning kreuger curve. Logically, it does make sense, but in practice, we don't have such a strong understanding of physics that we can simply calculate the results of chemical reactions. Thus, chemists must all rely on experimentalism..

>we don't have such a strong understanding of physics that we can simply calculate the results of chemical reactions
funnily enough, the solution to this is "we need a stronger understanding of physics" not "we need a stronger understanding of chemistry". the race is lost for chembros

>>16818320
Primal logic is your friend not your enemy
>>
>>16818213
>not if you know the "grand unifying theory¨TM"
but you have to memorize that
I want understanding with zero brain activity
>>
>>16816486
start with learning butt and then advance into anus.
>>
>>16819030
I dont think that is possible anon, having a shit memory and not wanting to use it precludes understanding. memory and reasoning work hand in hand to solve problems
