>>11913604most general chemistry is actually pretty unimportant to organic chemistry, if you know about atoms and their composition, covalent bonds, and a little bit about reaction energetics and stoichiometry, you are ready to take your first organic chemistry course. this is because the material is much more focused so the courses tend to be self-contained, and because most people in an organic chemistry classroom are stupid and have to be reminded about the most basic principles of e.g. reaction kinetics every time they come up.
