Ok...so you signed up for a chemistry course, and now you are wondering what in the world you did that for! Don't worry! You live with chemistry every day! The first thing you need to do is understand all those scary terms you are faced with, so I would suggest looking up any word you do not understand in a good chemical dictionary. The next thing ...try to see how the concepts you are learning are very similar to something you are already familiar with. Everything in the physical universe is made up of chemical matter or energy. I hope these links help you on your adventure!
