I really want to be a physicist but I don't like chemistry at all. Am I really going to need that much chemistry in physics?

I know how you feel. It's science, but it's two different branches. There will be cross overs, but nothing totally invasive. You will still have to use a ridiculous amount of algebra, though.

What you did not share is if \you are good at chemistry. If you are good at chemistry, chances are that you'll be good at physics because both require the rigor and regimen of the scientific method. But if you're bad at chemistry, then you'll probably be bad at physics as well.
Understand, you won't need much chemistry to master physics, but you'll need the discipline of the scientific method to do that. If you don't have it for chemistry you'll not likely to have it for physics either.

you will still have to learn the makeup of the atom and particles..
electrons and stuff..
the major difference between chemistry and physics is that chemists work with the compounds
like mixing h20 and NaCl so you wont have to worry about that part of the chemistry ... in physics that is usually not worked with
there is an EXTENSIVE amount of math..
I am not sure what level you are at.. but when you are in college or university ... take extra time on DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS..
DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS AND integral calculus are major components in physics...

No

Absolutely not. The only thing you will need is conversions, si units, and good math skills.
