im taking both too and i totally agree with you: physics is easier than chemistry. If you are good at math, that might be a reason why you are better at physics. It involves more math and has formulas, just like math. Chemistry is more involved with memorizing concepts such as quantum numbers or polar bonds. It is a little like grammer or spanish, where you have to memorize the rules of language or sentences.
I dont think it has to do with liking a class or disliking it. i thought chemistry was going to be interesting, learn about the properties of elements and chemical reactions. i thought physics was going to be boring. I do like some of the things in chemistry; i guess i just hate the class in general. i now am interested in physics; i didnt know it could be so interesting.

You have a mathematical mind, and you have a "mechanical" view of the world. These things are not bad; they are good. Lord Kelvin said that one does not understand anything unless one can calculate it. And if you have a mechanical view of your life and the world, then you can manage both of them by physical acts or decisions. Chemistry is also mathematical: Consider all the chem problems. But there is also a lot of chemical information to be absorbed (dare I say memorized?) and used. After all, suppose a person said, "Gee! I'd like to speak Spanish, but I'd hate memorizing all those Spanish words!" Good luck on A's next in physics and chemistry!

Probably because you are taking physics on topics like motion and such. Chemistry is a concept you have no feel for. Try taking second semester physics when you do electrical circuits and I bet the concepts are just as difficult as in Chemistry.
Or, it could be your professors.

Physics explains all the needs of the earth and is clever because of the fact we can incredibly see examples of the regulation being utilized and comprehend why it is so. Chemistry on the different hand is the unseen chemical reactions and so on on a microscopic point and includes a super type of reminiscence with formula. some human beings click with one, some human beings like the different... i'm in my view a physics, yet i comprehend countless chemistry who prefer human beings

Different people are good at different things. I guess physics just makes sense to you more than chemistry.

Physics is much more math intensive in my opinion. If you like math, then you probably like physics better than chem.
