What was your favorite chem topic?

[Ellis Song 4I]

After taking Dr. Lavelle's 14A and 14B class, what was your favorite chem topic so far?

[Jasmine W 1K]

Chemical Equilibrium!

[HannahBui 2K]

I really enjoyed molecular shape/structure from 14a and chemical equilibrium/electrochem from 14b!

[MingdaH 3B]

Balancing chemical equations bc ez

[Jared_Yuge]

Molecular shape and structure for sure Ellis! Maybe ochem will suite me better who knows

[Shanzey]

I liked drawing Lewis structures!

[Prasanna Padmanabham 4I]

I liked drawing Lewis structures!

Same!

[Cindy Adiwidjaja 1B]

I liked chemical equilibrium because it was so easy. However, conceptually, I found galvanic cells to be really cool. Did I know how to solve them? No. But did I think they were interesting? Yes.

[Edmund Zhi 2B]

I thought coordination compounds were cool

[Annie Chantasirivisal_4G]

Coordination compounds were such a pain to memorize at first, but after I memorized how to do them I felt like I could actually vibe with chem. Still slightly disappointed that they never appeared in our 14A final, haha.

Also, like many people have commented, chemical equilibrium <3!

[KSong_1J]

I think quantum from 14A was my favorite and I love chemical equilibrium from 14B!

[Michelle N - 2C]

Chemical Equilibrium for me! :)

[Jessica Li 4F]

I think kinetics and electrochemistry were my favorite!

[smurphy1D]

Electrochemistry was my favorite, seemed to be the easiest as well.

[CalvinTNguyen2D]

I loved Chemical Equilibrium! I thought it was pretty straightforward and for some reason I found it fun to imagine how equations would shift around depending on the reactant/product concentrations.

[RobertXu_2J]

Honestly, I was pretty fond of Molecular shape and structure back in 14A. Not my best unit, but I had a lot of fun.

[vibha gurunathan 1h]

acids/bases!

[Ryan_K_1K]

once I got the hang of it, Electrochemistry was by far my favorite!

[JesseAuLec1Dis1G]

I think it'd have to be equilibrium. For some reason ICE tables are so satisfying to me.

[Hannah Romeo 1J]

Thermochemistry! Also catalysts and kinetics are super cool :)

[Jessica Chen 2C]

Electrochemistry! I think I dreaded it going into it because I always found it confusing before, but I put extra effort into studying and understanding it before Test 2 and now it’s the topic I’m the most comfortable with haha.

[rachelle1K]

Probably Electrochemistry, initially I thought cell diagrams were impossible to understand but after learning them I finally began to enjoy it lol

[kennedyp]

Balancing chemical equations and chemical equilibrium!

[Nathan Rothschild_2D]

I would have to chemical equilibrium or electrochemistry. I feel like I didn't learn these well in high school and 14 B really helped me understand them better

[BeylemZ-1B]

Definitely Enjoyed Kinetics from 14B the most, and I especially loves molecular shape and structure from 14A. I am a visual learner

[Joshua Eidam 2A]

I like Kinetics so far! My favorite would probably have to be chemical equilibrium though.

[Rylee Mangan 1K]

Quantummmm. Least favorite was thermodynamics!

[Megan Hulsy 1A]

My favorite of all time is definitely Kinetics. I know we haven't really dived deep into it this quarter yet, but I love it so much!

[Sami Siddiqui 1J]

I would say chemical equilibrium.

[Xinying Wang_3C]

I would say redox reactions.

[Lisa Seidl 3H]

Chemical equilibrium and coordinate compounds were both kind of fun once I got the hang of it!

[Karl Yost 1L]

It's gotta be chemical equilibrium for me. In particular, Le Chatelier's principle is so fun. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but when I think about what effect e.g. decreasing a reactant has on a product, I'm always amused by the hand/body movements that I subconsciously make trying to basically "act out" what is occurring to the various elements/molecules involved in the reaction.

[Marco Morales 2G]

Lewis structures in 14A and in 14B Chemical Equilibrium and some thermo topics

[NayeliPlayas_1L]

My favorite topic was Thermodynamics even though it was quite challenging for me. I actually enjoyed chemistry more than I thought I would and I was even thinking about a minor in chem but sadly there is no such thing :(

[Jonathan Batac - 2D]

Molecular shape and structure. VSEPR theory is elite.

[Jonathan3B]

Definitely the molecule and Lewis structure stuff from last quarter.

[Dominic Benna 2E]

Definitely quantum

[Katie_Dinh_1D]

Thermodynamics!

[Sukhkiran Kaur 3I]

I enjoyed the lewis structures part of 14a.

[IanWheeler3F]

Redox and electrochem are my favorites by far, I love how there are two mini reactions working together and they can all be combined and matched together with their unique potentials

[Vanessa Perez]

i actually kinda enjoy electrochem and balancing acidic and basic equations

[SamanthaTolentino 3D]

Chemical equilibrium or the early topics in 14A like limiting reagents and balancing equations.

[Allan Nguyen 2G]

I found quantum to be really great because it was all plug and chug lol

[Tracey Huynh 2F]

I'd say I enjoyed electrochemistry this quarter, but balancing equations was definitely a good topic in 14A.

[LeahSWM 2E]

Definitely Kinetics and Chemical Equilibrium!

[Madison Muggeo 3H]

I might be in the minority here, but I liked thermodynamics. idk why it just clicked for me!

[Adrienne Yuh 2B]

I enjoyed equilibrium the most! It seemed the most straightforward and understandable.

[Giselle_zamora_1L]

I really enjoyed talking about chemical equilibrium, not necessarily the most fun topic but because during 14A I was so lost so starting 14B I put in extra work in order to understand and I did! Made me so excited to actually study chemistry

[Jordan Tatang 3L]

electrochemistry!

[Marylyn Makar 1B]

Mine is definitely chemical equilibrium!

[Alex Mele 2A]

I liked chemical equilibrium. I agree with the response that says ICE tables are satisfying!

[AdilaAhmed3I]

Electrochem and Kinetics are probably my favorite because for me, they were the easiest to visualize and grasp. I also like drawing the half cells for electrochem :)

[Ritika Prasad 1A]

I might be in the minority here, but I liked thermodynamics. idk why it just clicked for me!

I'm not sure if it would be my favorite, but I liked thermodynamics too! I think especially being able to connect the Gibbs' Free Energy concepts in both biology and chemistry gave me a deeper understanding of the concepts of enthalpy, energy, and entropy and I liked being able to make the connections between the subjects.

[Victoria Dao 3G]

I actually really liked chemical equilibrium. I feel like it was one of the only topics in 14b that really clicked for me.

[DPatel_2L]

Thermodynamics

[Bryan Le 2K]

I enjoy doing chemical equilibrium problems!

[BKoh_2E]

I really enjoyed the quantum unit!

[Joanne Yuh 3I]

I think chemical equilibrium was my favorite chem topic! It was kind of tricky to grasp the concepts at first but I think I got the hang of it later.

[nayha a 1E]

Definitely balancing chemical equations.

[Nick P 3D]

My favorite was probably balancing chemical equations because I already knew it from high school and it was easy

[Nina Fukui 2J]

I liked Acids and Bases

[Namita Shyam 3G]

Chemical equilibrium was my favorite!

[connie ma 3G]

equilibrium for sure

[lauren_tran_1L]

Chemical Equilibrium was my favorite and thermodynamics were my least favorite.

[Margia Adriano 2A]

Hi there! I personally really enjoyed equilibrium. I thought it was a super interesting topic, and because of that I thought it was a little easier than thermodynamics for me haha!

[Vivian_Le_1L]

I didn't have Lavelle for 14A but I really enjoyed learning about Lewis structures and molecular structures. Brought back a lot memories of chem in high school. :)

[Ashley Lopez 3J]

I really liked the Chemical equilibrium topic! Honestly, everything up to midterm 1 was cool.

[Mehreen 3I]

My favorite topic was most likely lewis structures!

[Nathan Lao 2I]

Electrochem is the most interesting to me!

[reyvalui_3g]

I enjoyed equilibrium the most.

[Winzel Payumo 1B]

Definitely chemical equilibrium! I hated it when I took AP Chemistry since I was doing it based on memorization, but I understand the topic well now and I realized that some common sense helps a lot HAHA

[Charlotte Chen 3B]

Chemical equilibrium

[Xinyu Li 1C]

Chemical equilibrium

[Katelyn_Ortega_1D]

chemical equilibrium

[Jared Limqueco 3E]

Molecular structure was my favorite, and I actually found naming compounds just as fun for some reason.

[Presley Gao 2C]

Chemical equilibrium and acids and bases.

[vuongnaomi1L]

molecular shape and structure in Chem 14A and thermodynamics (yes i know) from 14B!

[Hazelle Gunawan 3G]

Definitely Chemical Equilibrium, that topic just clicked way faster for me than probably any other topic we've covered.

[Chem_Mod]

My Chem 14A and 14B students. :-)

[jasonfarrales3D]

My favorite chemistry topic so far has been chemical equilibrium!

[Joshua Chung 2D]

Equilibrium was just so satisfying to me once i got it down!

[Margaret Xu 3C]

I like kinetics so far! I also enjoyed chemical equilibrium and acids/bases.

[Vivian Chang 3L]

I really liked coordination compounds from 14A and chemical equilibrium from 14B! I actually enjoyed pretty much all of the chem topics in both 14A and 14B except thermodynamics and thermochemistry lol

[Keeryth Sandhu 1H]

Chemical equilibrium was my favorite!

[LexyDenaburg_3A]

Chem Equilibrium for me!!

[Jeffrey Hablewitz 2I]

I really enjoyed chemical equilibrium because I thought it was very intuitive.

[Aimee Alvarado 3J]

I really enjoyed doing chemical equilibrium and thermochemistry. I guess thermochemistry just made me realize how many things are related to it and how it all works. I still find it kind of hard to understand, but I really enjoy it!

[Jason_Glass_2L]

Thermochemistry was oddly my favorite! After that I really enjoyed quantum in 14A because it was fairly straightforward.

[Isabel_Eslabon_2G]

I think I enjoyed chemical equilibrium at the beginning of 14B the most. Second is probably Lewis Structures and things related to that.

[Sid Panda 3A]

I liked Quantum from 14A. shows you how intertwined physics is with chemistry.

[Ismar Zamora]

Chemical equilibrium!

[AustinMcBrideDis3L]

I enjoyed the VSEPR unit in 14A the most, I do not understand how some of y'all were vibing with electrochemistry haha.

[alebenavides]

my fav was chemical equilibrium !

[MinjooPark_3I]

from 14A I really liked VSEPR and from 14B I liked thermochemistry. Those were basically the topics I understood the best!

[Sachi Sengupta 2C]

I really like chemical kinetics!

[Bella Bursulaya 3G]

Kinetics was fun! It was most fun because you can see how topics can relate to your field of study.

[AmyHo2K]

I enjoyed the topics from 14B more personally, especially kinetics and chemical equilibrium.

[Nicolette Simoni 3L]

Chemical Equilibrium! I liked doing ice tables :))

[Andersen Chu 2H]

Not electrochemistry

[Mursall M 2A]

I liked equilibrium and kinetics!
