Studying Preparing for Organic Chemistry: Tips for Reviewing Inorganic Chemistry Concepts

AI Thread Summary
To effectively review inorganic chemistry in preparation for organic chemistry, starting with problem-solving from a familiar textbook is recommended. This approach helps identify gaps in knowledge and provides a reference for information. While there is no universal method due to varying learning styles, revisiting general chemistry concepts can be beneficial, as it serves as a foundation for organic chemistry. Understanding the connection between these subjects is important, especially since organic chemistry often builds on principles learned in general chemistry. Additionally, practical laboratory skills will be necessary for organic chemistry, which involves more complex equipment.

Summary: What’s the best way to review inorganic chem in preparation for OC. Assume zero recall on basic college chem.

Are there study guides, online courses, etc. for this specific purpose?

There is no "one size fits all" approach, as everyone has its own learning habits and learning style. I would personally start trying to solve problems from the textbook I originally used. Not only it would quickly show what I don't remember, but also I would more or less know where to look for the info in the book. YMMV

I feel agree with that. Academically as I recall, there was no hardcore Inorganic course to the path of Organic Chemistry course but this does not mean that they are unrelated. Most typically General Chemistry is a rigorous survey course and the next course is the beginning Organic Chemistry course, so one could restudy General Chem from his textbook. If or when one feels well-reviewed, then enroll in Organic Chemistry. In the laboratory activities, O.C. will require the use of more complicated glassware equipment.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
