If you are a Chem Major.. is Orgo the Hardest class or is there classes harder than orgo in chem major.

Thanks

It gets MUCH harder. Physical chem and quantum chem for example. For these 2 courses you need to have strong math skills.

Orgo is pretty straightforward. You just have to know your stuff. It requires a large time commitment but from then on it's not difficult.

Pchem/qchem require strong background in math/physics. If you are good at those things, they are a breeze (not for me but I know other chem majors who literally just did their homework and never studied for exams and thought it was easy). Otherwise it's pure hell...

Oh and I personally think biochem is a bigger time commitment than orgo.

Inorganic chemistry sucks pretty badly too. I'm not talking about inorganic chem in reference to what some people call gen chem, but the upper level advanced inorganic where you talk about molecular orbitals and symmetry. It has the worst part of every class before it: predicting reaction products from gen chem, 3-dimensional thinking from orgo, electron rules from quantum... Thinking about it makes me unhappy.

They are all just different, in my opinion. Most people probably consider physical chemistry the most difficult, but coming from a strong math background, I found biochemistry and organic to be more difficult.
It depends most on each individual class and professor. Organic could be the easiest or the hardest, completely dependent on the curriculum.

One word: P-CHEM. That is all. Actually, maybe therm and quantum as well.
