I dated someone for a month before asking her to be my GF. In retrospect, I rushed into this -- at that point, we still hadn't had sex and I hadn't met any of her friends. All I knew was that I had a very good time hanging out with her on 6-7 dates, and she was an outlier in terms of the number of boxes she ticks for me. She is the type I'd want to meet my parents, but we don't have good sexual chemistry together. Even though she is very pretty, she doesn't turn me on easily, and the 2 times we had sex were not good. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I feel like she's not very attracted to me.
On the other hand, this other lady ticks fewer boxes + is less pretty than my GF, but when I met her, she had sexual chemistry with me like I've not felt in 10+ years. I kissed her once and it was the stuff of dreams. I'm highly confident that sex would feel effortless and natural with her, and I think that's very important. And she told me she was still very interested in me.
The curiosity is killing me. I usually stay in relationships for too long (I've never been a cheater or a volatile leaver), but I'm reading articles about the top regrets of the dying, and seeing things like "I should've lived for myself" and "I should've taken more risks" and it's speaking to me loudly right now.
TL;DR: Do I try to make a new LTR work despite mediocre sex or go for someone who seems great sexually but could end up as a brief fling?
So next year, I will be taking the instrumental analysis (analytical chemistry) and physical chemistry sequences both with labs at the same time. A little bit about my previous coursework, I did really well in ochem 1 and 2, inorganic chem was difficult for me, and I would consider myself generally pretty strong in math subjects. Although, I did struggle a little in calculus 2. I am not the best at physics and I struggled a lot in physics 2 but I do understand the basic concepts.
Do you guys think both of these sequences at the same time is doable? It is going to be my last year of undergrad so those are going to be my main classes along with maybe one or two electives not related to Chemistry. Therefore, I can heavily focus on those classes. Also if you have any advice to be successful in both courses that would be greatly appreciated!
Hello everyone. I´m a physics major in my senior year and I´m interested in learning physical chemistry. The thing is i have not taken any college level chem courses as my uni doesn´t offer any for physics majors, but I´m interested in learning the application of physics to chemistry.
So, is there any chemistry specific prerequisites i should check before reading Atkin´s book ? I have a decent background in Classical thermodynamics, Quantum Mechanics and all of the math methods related to them.
Thanks in advance
I'm currently studying for my physical chem final and I'm not exactly having a great time with it, which has been the story for me for pretty much the whole semester. It's pretty much all quantum chemistry, which I thought sounded cool at first, but now I know that I hate it. Due to my general disinterest in the subject, I'm not exactly the best at it and I'm hoping that I won't have to use it again down the line. If you are working in the general industry of chemical engineering, what do you do and do you ever have to use principles you learned in physical chemistry? Thanks for the help.
Dumbo me didn't realize that it began in the Fall rip, any insight on the 2nd-semester of p chem and whether a lot of the material from the fall course is required would be greatly appreciated
Hi!
I'm looking for books like Driven (K. Bromberg) in which the hero has committment issues/feels like he is not good enough for the heroine because of a troubled past.
His intention is to have her but at arm's length. He pushes her away when the love siren begins to ring. Heroine is very patient with him though because she knows he has issues. Up until hero screws up big time. Heroine is very hurt, finally gives him what he initially wanted in the first place (be emotionally distant, just after the physical chemistry, take back confessions of love and claim it was a mistake, the whole "wasn't this what you wanted in the first place?" discussion). Hero regrets it and grovels to fix things because he realizes he loves/needs the heroine
Plus plus if he's a jealous type! ❤️ Any book that has this "formula"? Preferrably contemporary/new adult please
Thanks :) I am preparing to spend the Christmas break cooped up reading hahaha!
Undergrad chemist. Reading my syllabus for pchem II (quantum and spectroscopy) and my prof is recommending some optional books by David Bohm? Anybody have any experience? Should I buy them? Also no calculators???! Wtff
Can anybody point me towards some good college level lectures in physical chemistry(like Thermodynamics, Chemical Kinetics, Quantum Mechanics)? I'm in a serious jam right now, so any help is sweetly appreciated.
I really do enjoy the physics of chemistry, and it's my favorite part of the field, but I'm unsure if this'll pay off with a good salary, i.e. the possibility of getting 6 figures in the later years my career. That's why I'm also studying the more traditional side of chemistry in college just in case p-chem doesn't pay off. A lot of physical chemistry I know is applicable to catalysis and other green chemistry.
Could someone explain to me what exactly is a convergence limit in the vibronic spectrum of iodine? I know that when the v' increases, the vibrational energy spacing decreases. This is from a source I found but I don't quite understand:
"At a point called the convergence limit, the spacing between bands decreases to zero. Beyond this convergence limit, the spectrum is continuous because the excited state of the I2 molecule is not bound."
Why the excited state isn't "bound" anymore? The spectrum becomes continuous at approximately 500 nm. Also is the decreasing of the vibrational energy spacing the reason why the spacing of the fine structure and the intensity of the peaks decreases?
I would add a picture of the spectrum but it isn't allowed.
Thank you!
This is from Atkins Physical Chemistry 11th edition. For the position operator, what is the multiplication sign referring to? Is this a misprint?

Hi,
In this coming Spring I'll be taking physical chemistry II, which at my university is the quantum mechanics portion of the class. What math/physics should I review before starting the class in order to give myself a better chance of receiving an A? I know I need to brush up on calculus III, but I haven't heard much more than that.
Thanks
So I just came out of a lousy relationship where there was massive physical attraction. There were all kinds of red flags that I wilfully ignored because of lust to be completely honest. In the end when the fog lifted I realise how I was barking up the wrong tree and it really just wasn’t the right person for me. I realise not only did we have nothing in common , he was really not the type I typically would fall for. Recently I met someone else who was the complete opposite. He is sweet and we get along so well. We have a lot in common. He very quickly wanted us to be in an exclusive relationship ( unlike the previous guy who wouldn’t commit) and deleted his dating app after meeting me. He was willing to be very accommodating to my needs ( I have 2 kids full time and 2 jobs) and the inability to always be available. We had a couple of dates and I do like him very much as a person and I thought maybe I would gradually develop the attraction for him. We also made out once but I just wasn’t that physically attracted to him. My question is does physical chemistry develop over time?
Im mainly targetting mains and dont have much time left and im finding it pretty tough with ALK sir so suggest me any other alternative
I only just realised after you complete a subject they remove your access to the material right before you start a new semester. Which i don’t understand since we literally pay for the content anyways? Anywho, if anyone still has their Chem 1&2 and Physics notes please help a sis out 😭
So I’ve been dating this guy for three months. I have absolutely no idea how connected we should be after three months, but I feel like emotionally we’re not connecting at all. It’s been especially exposed because I’ve been home and away from him for a few weeks, and without the physical chemistry (which is SO strong), it seems like there’s nothing left. He always acts super busy, eager to get off the phone with me after a few minutes or not talk at all. I often feel like I’m not even a part of his life. For example, last night he told me his psychiatrist had ordered him to get three blood tests done, which I knew absolutely nothing about. In fact, I didn’t even know he had a psychiatrist. I tried to find out a bit more and tell him I’m here for him, but he immediately closed up and said he needs to work on something. We talk everyday (texting), but it’s not much and it is very free from passion. He’s the one who said “I love you” first initially, but now he very rarely says it and won’t even say it back which is super awkward. 😬 Not being told I love you back is one of the most hurtful things you can do in a relationship, in my opinion. We’re supposed to have a talk when I get back, but I’m wondering if I should just break up with him? Or am I expecting too much after three months? I understand it takes some people a long time to open up, but the romance isn’t really there either. Our exchanges feel cold and distant. When together, it’s better, and the sex and cuddling is so amazing, but still, the way he seems too busy for me is a constant. I want a boyfriend who I can go on dates with and really feel like I’m with, you know? I’m just scared I’m wasting my time with him.

So I’m in year 13 studying biology, chemistry and maths. I did physics on and off throughout year 12 but dropped it and didn’t take it into year 13 as I was planning to study medicine or biochemistry at university. However, I now realise that I enjoy chemistry and maths a lot more than biology, and within chemistry I Love the physical chemistry but not the organic side so much. As a result I am currently planning to apply for Natural sciences on a chemistry, biology and maths stream but specialise in chemistry throughout the years and only take biology modules in the areas I enjoy (genetics, neuroscience). However, if i want to go into physical chemistry later on will I be able to do this with a natsci degree? Or would something like a chemical physics degree be better (even though most unis will require a level physics). Basically I’m a jt stuck on what to do and looking for some general advice. Thanks in advance
American/British lectures available online tend to be intro-level at best, qualitative at worst if they do get into higher concepts.
I like to watch online lectures to contrast what I was taught with a different perspective, and as I go deeper into mathsy fields, the more often I find myself relying on indian lecturers.
I'm not criticizing them! I'm very grateful. It just feels strange how prevalent they are to the point that there's almost nothing to contest them past a certain point. Does India rely more on online learning than U.K/U.S?
I’m a first year teacher, and it’s been a struuuuuuuugle and it still is. However, I’m looking for online things or any suggestions on how to teach my freshmen about physics and chemistry that doesn’t involve the book and worksheets. I really don’t know anything else to do and my peers at the school have been quiet when I send emails asking for anything they have. Thanks in advance.
I have rusty algebra and need to brush up on everything from algebra 1 and basic geometry to algebra 2, trigonometry and precalc and then obviously calculus
