What order should I learn chemistry?

Chemistry is a logical science. You can master the essential concepts yourself. You can study these concepts in any order, but it’s probably best to start from the top and work your way down, since many concepts build on understanding units, conversion, and how atoms and molecules interact.

Should I study chemistry before biology?

So, in answer to your question – No, chemistry is definitely not essential to learn biology efficiently – you’ll learn all the biochemistry / molecular biology you need as you learn biology… and biology itself is a massive subject… you could actually end up specialising in a topic area where No / only a minimal …

What comes first biology or chemistry?

The most logical sequence is physics, then chemistry, and then biology. This takes you up the hierarchy from the the most basic to the most complex. Much of chemistry is applied physics (physical chemistry), and much of modern biology is biochemistry/molecular biology.

Should I major in biology or chemistry?

A biology major will be more likely to put you in the classroom or in the field while chemistry will have you in the lab. There’s also the question of motivation. Certainly not always, but generally speaking, biology tends to be about the study and protection of living things.

Which branch of chemistry pays the most?

Forensic chemistry is also home to some of the highest paid jobs in chemistry, including medical examiners, forensic engineers, and crime lab analysts. Therefore, if you are looking for a hands-on career in chemistry that also pays well, forensic chemistry ticks all the boxes.
