Rudolf C: How much Chemistry should know a Physics undergrad ,who s interested in Astrophysics and Space technology?
I m a physics undergrad with a major interest in astrophysics and space technology and I m not found of Chemistry at all.The question is for those of you who are at least grad student or higher . I m quite F level in Chem.and the worst of it is that I can hardly force myself to dig deeper in Chem.Thanks!

I did Chemistry at GCSE (age 16) but from then on I only did physics/astrophysics and maths. It never made any difference to me, so don’t worry!

Post 16, I got top marks in 3 A-Levels (Physics, Maths and Geography), a First class Honours degree BSc Physics with Astrophysics and a MSc in Astrophysics.

Um, look around here and see if you like this much chemistry.

Then this tutorial on Remote Sensing. Remember, astronomers never ever get to touch the objects they are viewing.

My major is Honours in Physics, Astrophysics specialization, and to tell you the truth, you only need level 1 chemistry to persue your studies, as long as you can pass that you’re good to go…I personally hate chemistry, but a big part of physics is related to it, they are all sciences and they interact in a way or another…so for example when studying electrons and atoms you need some understanding of how they work in a chemical sense in order to fully understand the physical sense…but again, all you need is level 1 chem, that’s it…
