That table is out of date, four of the "uux" elements now have permanent symbold.

Chemistry is a meme degree if you don't do research in your undergrad
I would like to get into material or medical research/R&D in the future. Currently I am a 3rd year chem undergrad with research experience. Should I jump ship to BME,EE, or ME or remain in my degree?
literally memorization - the degree

t. double major in chem and phys
It's not memorization unless you choose to learn it that way. You're supposed to be able to recognize patterns, memorize those patterns, and be able to apply it to other reactions.
It's obviously no where near the level of preciseness and logic/thinking-heavy as physics is, but it's not completely memorization.

Semi-metals exhibit some of the properties of metals, and some of the properties of non-metals. They're not quite weak metals, so they're classified as their own thing.
They exist in a diagonal pattern due to charge to size ratio.

To add to that though, it is kinda true that most chemistry undergrads are less intelligent engineers, in that they just memorize their way through the courses.

I think bio is even worst.
