1.SOME
Glucose contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a fixed ratio and thus, like all other pure
substances has a fixed composition. Also, the constituents of pure substances cannot be
separated by simple physical methods.
13. An element consists of only one type of particles. These particles may be atoms or
molecules. Sodium, copper, silver, hydrogen, oxygen etc. are some examples of elements.
They all contain atoms of one type. However, the atoms of different elements are different
in nature. Some elements such as sodium or copper, contain single atoms held together as
their constituent particles whereas in some others, two or more atoms combine to give
molecules of the element. Thus, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen gases consist of molecules
in which two atoms combine to give their respective molecules.
14. When two or more atoms of different elements combine, the molecule of a compound is
obtained. The examples of some compounds are water, ammonia, carbon dioxide, sugar etc.
the atoms of different elements are present in a compound in a fixed and definite ratio and
this ratio is characteristic of a particular compound.
15. The SI system(Systeme International d Units abbreviated as SI)) has seven base units
and they are listed in Table 1.1
16. Mass of a substance is the amount of matter present in it while weight is the force exerted
by gravity on an object. The mass of a substance is constant whereas its weight may vary
from one place to another due to change in gravity.
17. Volume has the units of (length) 3. So in SI system, volume has units of m3. A common
unit, litre (L) which is not an SI unit, is used for measurement of volume of liquids. 1 L =
1000 mL , 1000 cm3 = 1 dm3

18. Density of a substance is its amount of mass per unit volume SI units of density kg m3
This unit is quite large and a chemist often expresses density in g cm3.
19. There are three common scales to measuretemperature C (degree celsius), F (degree
Fahrenheit) and K (Kelvin). Here, K is the SI unit.
20. The Kelvin scale is related to Celsius scale as follows :K =C+273.15
21. The F scale is related to Celsius scale as follows
22. In scientific notation (exponential Notation) any number can be represented in the form
N 10n where n is an exponent having positive or negative values and N can vary between
1 to 10. Thus, we can write 232.508 as 2.32508 X102 in scientific notation. Note that while
writing it, the decimal had to be moved to the left by two places and same is the exponent
(2) of 10 in the scientific notation. Similarly, 0.00016 can be written as 1.6 X104. Here the
decimal has to be moved four places to the right and ( 4) is the exponent in the scientific
notation.
23. Significant figures are meaningful digits which are known with certainty. The uncertainty
is indicated by writing the certain digits and the last uncertain digit. Thus, if we write a
result as 11.2 mL, we say the 11 is certain and 2 is uncertain and the uncertainty would be
1 in the last digit. Unless otherwise stated, an uncertainty of +1 in the last digit is always
understood.
24. There are certain rules for determining the number of significant figures. These are
stated below:
a) All non-zero digits are significant. For example in 285 cm, there are three significant
figures and in 0.25 mL, there are two significant figures.
b) Zeros preceding to first non-zero digit are not significant. Such zero indicates the position
of decimal point. Thus, 0.03 has one significant figure and 0.0052 has two significant
figures.
c) Zeros between two non-zero digits are significant. Thus, 2.005 has four significant figures.
d) Zeros at the end or right of a number are significant provided they are on the right side of
the decimal point. For example, 0.200 g has three significant figures. But, if otherwise, the
terminal zeros are not significant if there is no decimal point. For example, 100 has only
one significant figure, but 100. has three significant figures and 100.0 has four significant

figures. Such numbers are better represented in scientific notation. We can express the
number 100 as 1102 for one significant figure, 1.0102 for two significant figures and
1.00102 for three significant figures.
e) Counting numbers of objects, for example, 2 balls or 20 eggs, have infinite significant
figures as these are exact numbers and can be represented by writing infinite number of
zeros after placing a decimal i.e.,2 = 2.000000 or 20 = 20.000000
f) In numbers written in scientific notation, all digits are significant e.g., 4.01102 has three
significant figures, and 8.256 103 has four significant figures.
25. .Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed.
26. Law of Definite Proportions states that a given compound always contains exactly the
same proportion of elements by weight.
27. Law of Multiple Proportions states that if two elements can combine to form more than
one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other
element, are in the ratio of small whole numbers.
28. Gay Lussacs Law of Gaseous Volumes: This law was given by Gay Lussac in 1808. He
observed that when gases combine or are produced in a chemical reaction they do so in a
simple ratio by volume provided all gases are at same temperature and pressure.
29. In 1811, Avogadro proposed that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and
pressure should contain equal number of molecules.
30. In 1808, Dalton published A New System of Chemical Philosophy in which he proposed
the following :
a) Matter consists of indivisible atoms.
b) All the atoms of a given element have identical properties including identical mass.
Atoms of different elements differ in mass.
c) Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine in a fixed ratio.
d) Chemical reactions involve reorganization of atoms. These are neither created nor
destroyed in a chemical reaction.
e) Daltons theory could explain the laws of chemical combination.
31. One atomic mass unit is defined as a mass exactly equal to one twelfth the mass of one
carbon - 12 atom.
32. Molecular mass is the sum of atomic masses of the elements present in a molecule. It is
obtained by multiplying the atomic mass of each element by the number of its atoms and
adding them together.
33. The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary
entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon-12; its symbol is mol. When the
mole is used, the elementary entities must be specified and may be atoms, molecules, ions,
electrons, other particles, or specified groups of such particles. This number of entities in 1
mol is so important that it is given a separate name and symbol. It is known as Avogadro
constant, denoted by NA in honor of Amedeo Avogadro.
34. An empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of various atoms present
in a compound whereas the molecular formula shows the exact number of different types of
atoms present in a molecule of a compound.
35. Many a time, the reactions are carried out when the reactants are not present in the amounts
as required by a balanced chemical reaction. In such situations, one reactant is in excess
over the other. The reactant which is present in the lesser amount gets consumed after
sometime and after that no further reaction takes place whatever be the amount of the other
reactant present. Hence, the reactant which gets consumed, limits the amount of product
formed and is, therefore, called the limiting reagent.

2.Structure of Atom
Some Important Points and Terms of the Chapter
1. The word atom has been derived from the Greek word a-tomio which means uncutableor
non-divisible.
2. J. J. Thomson, in 1898, proposed that an atom possesses a spherical shape (radius approximately
1010 m) in which the positive charge is uniformly distributed. The electrons are embedded into
it in such a manner as to give the most stable electrostatic arrangement (Fig. 2.4, NCERT Page
5). Many different names are given to this model, for example, plum pudding, raisin pudding
or watermelon.
3. Rutherfords Nuclear Model of Atom:
a) Most of the space in the atom is empty as most of the aparticles passed through the foil
undeflected.
b) A few positively charged a particles were deflected. The deflection must be due to
enormous repulsive force showing that the positive charge of the atom is not spread
throughout the atom as Thomson had presumed. The positive charge has to be
concentrated in a very small volume that repelled and deflected the positively charged a
particles.
c) Calculations by Rutherford showed that the volume occupied by the nucleus is negligibly
small as compared to the total volume of the atom. The radius of the atom is about 1010
m, while that of nucleus is 1015 m.
d) On the basis of above observations and conclusions, Rutherford proposed the nuclear
model of atom (after the discovery of protons). According to this model :(i) The positive
charge and most of the mass of the atom was densely concentrated in extremely small
region. This very small portion of the atom was called nucleus by Rutherford. (ii) The
nucleus is surrounded by electrons that move around the nucleus with a very high speed
in circular paths called orbits. Thus, Rutherfords model of atom resembles the solar
system in which the nucleus plays the role of sun and the electrons that of revolving
planets. (iii) Electrons and the nucleus are held together by electrostatic forces of
attraction.
4. The number of protons present in the nucleus is equal to atomic number (Z).the nucleus is equal
to atomic number (Z ).i.e.
On the other hand, atoms with identical atomic number but different atomic mass number

radiated or absorbed by a body not continuously but discontinuously in form of small packets.
(ii) Each packet is called quantum. In case of light, the quantum is called photon. The energy of
quantum is directly proportional to the frequency (v) of the radiation. E v E = hv, Where h
is Plancks constant. Its value is 6.625 10-34 Joule second.
11. The spectrum of radiation emitted by a substance that has absorbed energy is called an emission
spectrum. Atoms, molecules or ions that have absorbed radiation are said to be excited. To
produce an emission spectrum, energy is supplied to a sample by heating it or irradiating it and
the wavelength (or frequency) of the radiation emitted, as the sample gives up the absorbed
energy, is recorded.

The Swedish spectroscopist, Johannes Rydberg, noted that all series of lines in the hydrogen spectrum
c) The energy of an electron in the orbit does not change with time. However, the electron
will move from a lower stationary state to a higher stationary state when required amount
of energy is absorbed by the electron or energy is emitted when electron moves from
higher stationary state to lower stationary state . The energy change does not take place
in a continuous manner.
d) The frequency of radiation absorbed or emitted when transition occurs between two
stationary states that differ in energy by E, is given by :
15. Bohrs theory can also be applied to the ions containing only one electron, similar to that present
in hydrogen atom. For example, He+ Li2+, Be3+ and so on. The energies of the stationary states
associated with these kinds of ions (also known as hydrogen like species) are given by the
expression
16. Limitations of Bohrs Model: It fails to account for the finer details (doublet, that is two closely
spaced lines) of the hydrogen atom spectrum observed by using sophisticated spectroscopic
techniques. This model is also unable to explain the spectrum of atoms other than hydrogen, for
example, helium atom which possesses only two electrons. Further, Bohrs theory was also
unable to explain the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of magnetic field (Zeeman effect)
or an electric field (Stark effect).
17. Dual Behaviour of Matter: The French physicist, de Broglie in 1924 proposed that matter, like
radiation, should also exhibit dual behaviour i.e., both particle and wavelike properties.
18. The de Broglie relation. :de Broglie relation state that the wavelength associated with a moving
object or an electron is inversely proportional to the momentum of the particle.

19. Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle. It is not possible to determine the position and velocity
simultaneously for a sub-atomic particle like electron at any given instant to an arbitary degree of
precision. Consequently, it is not possible to talk of path of the electron in which it moves. If
x is uncertainty in position and P is uncertainty in momentum then

20. Orbital. It is a region or space where there is maximum probability of getting electron.
21. Quantum numbers. They are used to get complete information about electron, i.e., location,
energy, spin, etc. These quantum numbers also help to designate the electron present in an
orbital.
22. Principal quantum number. It specifies the location and energy of an electron. It is measure
of the effective volume of the electron cloud. It is denoted by n. Its possible values are 1, 2,
3,4 ..

23. Angular momentum quantum number. It is also called azimuthal quantum number. It
determines the shape of the orbital. It is denoted by l. The permitted values of l are 0, 1, 2,
etc., upto n1. For a given value of n, l = 0 to n 1 . e.g., if value of n is 4, l can have values

5. Modern periodic law: Properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic number.
6. Modern Periodic Table: This table was prepared was Bohr and is based upon the electronic
configuration of elements. The table consists of 18 vertical columns called groups Elements
having similar outer electronic configurations in their atoms are arranged in vertical columns,
referred to as groups . According to the recommendation of International Union of Pure and
Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the groups are numbered from 1 to 18 and the table consists of 7
horizontal rows called periods. The first period contains 2 elements. The subsequent periods
consists of 8, 8, 18, 18 and 32 elements, respectively. The seventh period is incomplete and like
the sixth period would have a theoretical maximum (on the basis of quantum numbers) of 32
elements. In this form of the Periodic Table, 14 elements of both sixth and seventh periods
(lanthanoids and actinoids, respectively) are placed in separate panels at the bottom

8. We can classify the elements into four blocks viz., s-block, p-block, d-block and f-block
depending on the type of atomic orbital that are being filled with electrons.
9. s-Block Elements :The elements of Group 1 (alkali metals) and Group 2 (alkaline earth metals)
which have ns1and ns2 outermost electronic configuration belong to the s-Block Elements.
10. p-Block Elements The p-Block Elements comprise those belonging to Group 13 to 18 and these
together with the s-Block Elements are called the Representative Elements or Main Group
Elements. The outermost electronic configuration varies from ns2np1 to ns2np6 in each period.
11. d-Block Elements These are the elements of Group 3 to 12 in the centre of the Periodic Table.
These are characterised by the filling of inner d orbitals by electrons and are therefore referred to
as d-Block Elements. These elements have the general outer electronic configuration (n-1)d110
ns0-2 .
12. f-Block Elements The two rows of elements at the bottom of the Periodic Table, called the
Lanthanoids, Ce(Z = 58) Lu(Z = 71) and Actinoids, Th(Z = 90) Lr (Z = 103) are
characterised by the outer electronic configuration (n-2)f1-14 (n-1)d01ns2. The last electron added
to each element is filled in f- orbital. These two series of elements are hence called the InnerTransition Elements (f-Block Elements).
13. Variation in Atomic Radius in Period: The atomic size generally decreases across a period It is
because within the period the outer electrons are in the same valence shell and the effective
nuclear charge increases as the atomic number increases resulting in the increased attraction of
electrons to the nucleus.
Li
Be
Ne
14. Variation in Atomic Radius in Group: Within a family or vertical column of the periodic table,
the atomic radius increases regularly with atomic number as). as we descend the groups, the
principal quantum number (n) increases and the valence electrons are farther from the nucleus.
This happens because the inner energy levels are filled with electrons, which serve to shield the
outer electrons from the pull of the nucleus. Consequently the size of the atom increases as
reflected in the atomic radii.
15. The atomic radii of noble gases are not considered here. Being monatomic, their (non-bonded
radii) values are very large. In fact radii of noble gases should be compared not with the covalent
radii but with the van der Waals radii of other elements.
16. A cation is smaller than its parent atom because it has fewer electrons while its nuclear charge
remains the same. The size of an anion will be larger than that of the parent atom because
the addition of one or more electrons would result in increased repulsion among the electrons
and a decrease in effective nuclear charge. For example, the ionic radius of fluoride ion (F ) is
136 pm whereas the atomic radius of fluorine is only 64 pm. On the other hand, the atomic radius
of sodium is 186 pm compared to the ionic radius of 95 pm for Na+.
17. Isoelectronic species :Atoms and ions which contain the same number of electrons.. For
example, O2, F, Na+ and Mg2+ have the same number ofelectrons (10). Their radii would be
different because of their different nuclear charges. The cation with the greater positive charge
will have a smaller radius because of the greater attraction of the electrons to the nucleus. Anion
with the greater negative charge will have the larger radius. In this case, the net repulsion of the
electrons will outweigh the nuclear charge and the ion will expand in size.
18. Ionization Enthalpy: It represents the energy required to remove an electron from an isolated
gaseous atom (X) in its ground state. In other words, the first ionization enthalpy for an element
X is the enthalpy change (iH) for the reaction depicted in equation. X (g) X+(g) + e . The
ionization enthalpy is expressed in units of kJ mol1. We can define the second ionization
enthalpy as the energy required to remove the second most loosely bound electron; it is the
energy required to carry out the reaction shown in equation X+(g)X2+(g) + e . Energy is
always required to remove electrons from an atom and hence ionization enthalpies are always
positive. The second ionization enthalpy will be higher than the first ionization enthalpy because
it is more difficult to remove an electron from a positively charged ion than from a neutral atom.
KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA SANGATHAN
Zonal Institute Of Education And Training; Bhubaneswar
Study Material- Chemistry- Class XI
In the same way the third ionization enthalpy will be higher than the second and so on. The term
ionization enthalpy, if not qualified, is taken as the first ionization enthalpy.
19. Variation in Ionization Enthalpy in Group: As we descend in a group the first ionization
enthalpy generally decreases .Because as we go down a group, the outermost electron being
increasingly farther from the nucleus, there is an increased shielding of the nuclear charge by the
electrons in the inner levels. In this case, increase in shielding outweighs the increasing nuclear
charge and the removal of the outermost electron requires less energy down a group.
20. Variation in Ionization Enthalpy in Period: The first ionization enthalpy generally increases as
we go across a period. When we move from left to right in period, successive electrons are added
to orbitals in the same principal quantum level and the shielding of the nuclear charge by the
inner core of electrons does not increase very much to compensate for the increased attraction of
the electron to the nucleus. Thus, across a period, increasing nuclear charge outweighs the
shielding. Consequently, the outermost electrons are held more and more tightly and the
ionization enthalpy increases across a period
21. Electron Gain Enthalpy: When an electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom (X) to convert it
into a negative ion, the enthalpy change accompanying the process is defined as the Electron
Gain Enthalpy (egH). Electron gain enthalpy provides a measure of the ease with which an atom
adds an electron to form anion as represented by equation. X(g) + e X(g) . Depending on the
element, the process of adding an electron to the atom can be either endothermic or exothermic.
For many elements energy is released when an electron is added to the atom and the electron
gain enthalpy is negative. For example, group 17 elements (the halogens) have very high
negative electron gain enthalpies because they can attain stable noble gas electronic
configurations by picking up an electron. On the other hand, noble gases have large positive
KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA SANGATHAN
Zonal Institute Of Education And Training; Bhubaneswar
Study Material- Chemistry- Class XI
electron gain enthalpies because the electron has to enter the next higher principal quantum level
leading to a very unstable electronic configuration.
22. Variation in electron gain enthalpies in Group & period: The variation in electron gain
enthalpies of elements is less systematic than for ionization enthalpies. As a general rule,
electron gain enthalpy becomes more negative with increase in the atomic number across a
period. The effective nuclear charge increases from left to right across a period and consequently
it will be easier to add an electron to a smaller atom since the added electron on an average
would be closer to the positively charged nucleus. We should also expect electron gain enthalpy
to become less negative as we go down a group because the size of the atom increases and the
added electron would be farther from the nucleus. This is generally the case. However, electron
gain enthalpy of O or F is less negative than that of the succeeding element. This is because
when an electron is added to O or F, the added electron goes to the smaller n = 2 quantum level
and suffers significant repulsion from the other electrons present in this level. For the n = 3
quantum level (S or Cl), the added electron occupies a larger region of space and the electronelectron repulsion is much less.
23. Electronegativity: A qualitative measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to
attract shared electrons to itself is called electro negativity Linus Pauling, an American scientist,
in 1922 assigned arbitrarily a value of 4.0 to fluorine, the element considered to have the greatest
ability to attract electrons. Electronegativity generally increases across a period from left to right
(say from lithium to fluorine) and decrease down a group (say from fluorine to astatine) in the
periodic table.
24. Anomalous Properties of Second Period Elements: The first element of each of the groups 1
(lithium) and 2 (beryllium) and groups 13-17 (boron to fluorine) differs in many respects from
the other members of their respective group. For example, lithium unlike other alkali metals, and
beryllium unlike other alkaline earth metals, form compounds with pronounced covalent
character; the other members of these groups predominantly form ionic compounds. In fact the
behaviour of lithium and beryllium is more similar with the second element of the Group 1, 2
,13, 14, 15, 16 ,17. following group i.e., magnesium and aluminum, respectively. This sort of
similarity is commonly referred to as diagonal relationship in the periodic properties. The
anomalous behaviour is attributed to their small size, large charge/ radius ratio and high
electronegativity of the elements. In addition, the first member of group has only four valence
orbitals (2s and 2p) available for bonding, whereas the second member of the groups have nine
valence orbitals (3s, 3p, 3d). As a consequence of this, the maximum covalency of the first
KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA SANGATHAN

Study Material- Chemistry- Class XI
member of each group is 4 (e.g., boron can only form[BF4]- , whereas the other members of the
groups can expand their valence shell to accommodate more than four pairs of electrons e.g.,
aluminum forms [AlF6]3- ). Furthermore, the first member of p-block elements displays greater
ability to form p p multiple bonds to itself (e.g., C = C, C C, N = N, N N) and to other
second period elements (e.g., C = O, C = N, C N, N = O) compared to subsequent members of
the same group.

said to be joined by a single covalent bond.e.g H2 If two atoms share two electron pairs of
electrons, the covalent bond between them is called a double bond. e.g O2 If two atoms share
three electron pairs of electrons, the covalent bond between them is called a double bond. e.g N2
3.
Octet Rule- Kossel and Lewis in 1916 developed an important theory of chemical combination
between atoms known as electronic theory of chemical bonding. According to this, atoms can
combine either by transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another or by sharing of
valence electrons in order to attain their octet. This is known as octet rule.
a) Incomplete octet of the central atom: In some compounds the number of electrons surrounding
the central atom is less than eight. This is especially the case with elements having less than four
valence electrons. Examples-
b) Odd-electron molecules: In molecules with an odd number of electrons like nitric oxide, NO and
nitrogen dioxide, the octet rule is not satisfied for all the atoms.
c) The expanded octet : Elements in and beyond the third period of the periodic table have, apart
from 3s and 3p orbitals, 3d orbitals also available for bonding. In a number of compounds of
these elements there are more than eight valence electrons around the central atom. This is
termed as the expanded octet. Some of examples of such compounds are: PF5, SF6.
d) This theory does not account for the shape of molecules.
5. Electrovalent bond or Ionic Bond: The chemical bond as result of transfer of electron from one
high negative value of electron gain enthalpy. Most ionic compounds have cations derived from
metallic elements and anions from non-metallic elements.
6. Formation of Ionic Bond
7. Bond length is defined as the equilibrium distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a
molecule.
8. Bond Angle:It is defined as the angle between the orbital containing bonding electron pairs
around the central atom in a molecule/complex ion. It gives some idea regarding the distribution
of orbital around the central atom in a molecule/complex ion and hence it helps us in determining
its shape
9. Bond enthalpy: It is defined as the amount of energy required to break one mole of bonds of a
particular type between two atoms in a gaseous state. The unit of bond enthalpy is kJ mol1
10. Bond Order : The Bond Order is given by the number of bonds between the two atoms in a
molecule. E.g.: Bond Order of O2= 2. With increase in bond order, bond enthalpy increases and
bond length decreases.
11. Resonance: According to the concept of resonance, whenever a single Lewis structure cannot
describe a molecule accurately, a number of structures with similar energy, positions of nuclei,
bonding and the non- bonding pairs of electrons are taken as the canonical structures of the
hybrid which describes the molecule accurately
12. Polarity of bonds: In case of heteronuclear molecules like HCl, the shared pair of electron
between the two atoms gets displaced more towards chlorine since the electronegativity of
chlorine is far greater than that of hydrogen. The resultant covalent bond is called a polar
covalent bond.
13. Dipole moment: As a result of polarization, the molecule possesses the dipole moment which
can be defined as the product of charge and the distance between the centers of positive and
negative charge. It is usually designated by a Greek letter . Mathematically, it is expressed as
follows:
Dipole moment ( ) = charge (Q) X distance of separation (r)
The shape of a molecule depends upon the number of valence shell electron pairs (bonded
or nonbonded) around the central atom.
Pairs of electrons in the valence shell repel one another since their electron clouds are
negatively charged.
These pairs of electrons tend to occupy such positions in space that minimize repulsion
and thus maximise distance between them.
The valence shell is taken as a sphere with the electron pairs localising on the spherical
surface at maximum distance from one another.
A multiple bond is treated as if it is a single electron pair and the two or three electron
pairs of a multiple bond are treated as a single super pair.
Where two or more resonance structures can represent a molecule, the VSEPR model is
applicable to any such structure.
The repulsive interaction of electron pairs decrease in the order: Lone pair (lp) Lone
pair (lp) > Lone pair (lp) Bond pair (bp) > Bond pair (bp) Bond pair (bp)

15. Hybridization: It can be defined as the process of intermixing of the orbitals of slightly different
energies so as to redistribute their energies, resulting in the formations of new set of orbitals of
equivalent energies and shape.
The number of hybrid orbitals is equal to the number of the atomic orbitals that get hybridised.
The hybrid orbitals are more effective in forming stable bonds than the pure atomic orbitals.
These hybrid orbitals are directed in space in some preferred direction to have minimum
repulsion between electron pairs and thus a stable arrangement.
sp hybridisation- This type of hybridisation involves the mixing of one s and one p orbital
resulting in the formation of two equivalent sp hybrid orbitals.e.g.BeCl2
sp2 hybridisation- In this hybridisation there is involvement of one s and two p-orbitals in
order to form there equivalent sp2 hybridised orbitals. e.g.BCl3
sp3 hybridisation- When there is mixing of one s and three p-orbitals of the valence shell to
form four sp3 hybrid orbitals of equivalent energies and shape. e.g.CH4
17. Molecular orbital. It gives electron probability distribution around a group of nuclei in a
molecule. They are filled in the same way as atomic orbitals. Molecular orbitals are formed by
linear combination of atomic orbitals.
18. Bonding molecular orbital. A molecular orbital that is formed by addition overlap (i.e., when
the lobes of atomic orbitals overlap with the same sign) of two atomic orbitals is known as
bonding molecular orbital. It is represented as
MO A B Its energy is lower than the atomic orbitals from which it is formed. It
favours bonding.
19. Anti-bonding molecular orbital. A molecular orbital that is obtained by the subtraction overlap
(i.e., when the lobes of atomic orbitals overlap with the opposite sign) of two atomic orbitals is
know as anti-bonding molecular orbital. It is represented as
* MO A B Its energy is higher than the atomic orbitals from which it is formed. It
20. Bond order. It is defined as half of the difference between number of electrons in bonding and
anti-bonding orbitals, i.e., B.O. = (Nb Na) where Nb are number of electrons in bonding
orbitals and Na are number of electrons in anti-bonding orbitals. Bond order helps in estimating
stability of atom.
21. Relationship between electronic configuration and molecular behaviour :
(a)
The molecule is also unstable if Na is equal to Nb because anti-bonding effect is stronger than
bonding effect.
22. Sigma ( ) molecular orbitals. A molecular orbital which is formed from the overlap of two s
atomic orbitlas or head to head overlap of one s and p-atomic orbitals or head to head overlap of
two p-atomic orbitals, is known as sigma molecular orbital.
23. pi ( ) molecular orbitals. A molecular orbital which is formed by lateral overlap of two
24. Conditions for the Combination of Atomic Orbitals. The linear combination of atomic
The combining atomic orbitals must have same or nearly same energy.
(ii) The combining atomic orbitals must have the same symmetry about the molecular axis. By
convention, z-axis is taken as the molecular axis.
(iii) The combining atomic orbitals must overlap to the maximum extent. Greater the extent of
overlapping, the greater will be electron density between the nuclei of a molecular orbital.
25. Energy level Diagrams for Molecular Orbitals. The increasing order of energies of various
1s 1s 2s 2s 2 p z 2 p x 2 p y 2 p x 2 p y 2 p z
However, this sequence of energy levels of molecular orbitals is not correct for
remaining molecules Li2, Be2, B2, C2, N2. For instance, it has been observed
experimentally that for molecules such as B2, C2, N2 etc., the increasing order
of energies of various molecular orbitals is
1s 1s 2s 2s 2 p x 2 p y 2 p z 2 p x 2 p y 2 p z
The important characteristic feature of this order is that the energy of 2 p z
molecular orbital is higher than that of 2 p x and 2 p y molecular orbitals in
these molecules.

5.States of Matter
Some Important Points and Terms of the Chapter
1. Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction and repulsion between
interacting particles (atoms and molecules). This term does not include the
electrostatic forces that exist between the two oppositely charged ions and the
forces that hold atoms of a molecule together i.e., covalent bonds. Attractive
intermolecular forces are known as van der Waals forces, in honour of Dutch
scientist Johannes van der Waals (1837-1923).
2. Dipole - Dipole Forces:Dipole-dipole forces act between the molecules
possessing permanent dipole. Ends of the dipoles possess partial charges and
these charges are shown by Greek letter delta (
3. Dipole -Induced Dipole Forces: This type of attractive forces operate between
the polar molecules having permanent dipole and the molecules lacking
permanent dipole. Permanent dipole of the polar molecule induces dipole on
the electrically neutral molecule by deforming its electronic cloud.Thus an
.
4. Dispersion Forces or London Forces:Atoms and nonpolar molecules are
electrically symmetrical and have no dipole moment because their electronic
charge cloud is symmetrically distributed. But a dipole may develop
momentarily even in such atoms and molecules. This can be understood as
follows. Suppose we have two atoms A and B in the close vicinity of each
other (Fig. 5.1a NCERT page 133). It may so happen that momentarily
electronic charge distribution in one of the atoms, say A, becomes
unsymmetrical i.e., the charge cloud is more on one side than the other (Fig.
5.1 b and c NCERT page 133). This results in the development of
instantaneous dipole on the atom A for a very short time. This instantaneous
or transient dipole distorts the electron density of the other atom B, which is
close to it and as a consequence a dipole is induced in the atom B. The
temporary dipoles of atom A and B attract each other. Similarly temporary
dipoles are induced in molecules also. This force of attraction was first
proposed by the German physicist Fritz London, and for this reason force of
attraction between two temporary dipoles is known as London force. Another
name for this force is dispersion force.
5. Hydrogen bond: Hydrogen bond is represented by a dotted line ( ) while a
solid line represents the covalent bond. Thus, hydrogen bond can be defined as
the attractive force which binds hydrogen atom of one molecule with the
electronegative atom (F, O or N) of another molecule this is special case of
dipole-dipole interaction..

15. Daltons Law of Partial Pressures: It states that the total pressure exerted by
the mixture of non-reactive gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of
individual gases i.e., the pressures which these gases would exert if they were
enclosed separately in the same volume and under the same conditions of
temperature. In a mixture of gases, the pressure exerted by the individual gas is
called partial pressure. Mathematically,
pTotal = p1+p2+p3+......(at
Collisions of gas molecules are perfectly elastic. This means that total
energy of molecules before and after the collision remains same.

deviations from ideal gas law (a)Pressure correction: pressure exerted by the
gas is lower than the pressure exerted by the ideal gas.

of intermolecular forces while b is the measure of effective size of gaseous

21. The temperature at which a real gas obeys ideal gas law over an appreciable
range of pressure is called Boyle temperature or Boyle point.
22. Critical temperature (TC)of a gas is highest temperature at which liquifaction
of the gas first occurs. Liquifaction of so called permanent gase Volume of one
mole of the gas at critical temperature is called critical volume (VC) and
pressure at this temperature is called critical pressure (pC). The critical
temperature, pressure and volume are called critical constants.
23. Surface tension is defined as the force acting per unit length perpendicular to
the line drawn on the surface of liquid. It is denoted by Greek letter . It has
dimensions of kg s2 and in SI unit it is expressed as N m1.
24. Viscosity is a measure of resistance to flow which arises due to the internal
friction between layers of fluid as they slip past one another while liquid flows.
Strong intermolecular forces between molecules hold them together and resist
movement of layers past one another. Greater the viscosity, the more slowly
the liquid flows. Viscosity of liquids decreases as the temperature rises because
at high temperature molecules have high kinetic energy and can overcome the
intermolecular forces to slip past one another between the layers.
25. Viscosity coefficient is the force when velocity gradient is unity and the area
of contact is unit area. Thus is measure of viscosity. SI unit of viscosity
coefficient is 1 newton second per square metre (N s m2) = pascal second (Pa s
= 1kg m1s1).

6.Thermodynamics
Some Important Points and Terms of the Chapter
1. System and the Surroundings: A system in thermodynamics refers to that
part of universe in which observations are made and remaining universe
constitutes the surroundings. The surroundings include everything other
than the system. System and the surroundings together constitute the
universe. The wall that separates the system from the surroundings is called
boundary
2. Types of the System:
Open System: In an open system, there is exchange of energy and
matter between system and surroundings.
Closed System In a closed system, there is no exchange of matter,
but exchange of energy is possible between system and the
surroundings.
Isolated system :In an isolated system, there is no exchange of
energy or matter between the system and the surroundings
3. State of a System: The state of a system means the condition of the system
which is described in terms of certain observable properties such as
temp(T), pressure(p), volume (v), etc. of the systems. These properties of a
system are called state variables.
4. State Functions: A physical quantity is solid to be state functions of its
value depends only upon the state of the system and does not depend upon
the path by which this state has been attained.
5. Internal Energy: a quantity which represents the total energy of the
system. It may be chemical, electrical and mechanical or any other type of
energy you may think of, the sum of all these is the energy of the system. In

15. Enthalpy, H: The enthalpy H [Greek word enthalpien, heat content] is
defined as : H = U + pV For finite changes at constant pressure, we can
write above equation as H = U + pV Since p is constant, we can write
H = U + pV since pV=ngRT ,therefore H = U + ngRT
16. Extensive property: An extensive property is a property whose value
depends on the quantity or size of matter present in the system. For
example, mass, volume, internal energy, enthalpy, heat capacity, etc. are
extensive properties.
17. Intensive property: Those properties which do not depend on the quantity
or size of matter present are known as intensive properties. For example
temperature, density, pressure etc. are intensive properties.
18. Specific heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to raise the
temperature of one unit mass of a substance by one degree celsius (or one
kelvin). For finding out the heat, q, required to raise the temperatures of a
sample, we multiply the specific heat of the substance, c, by the mass m,
and temperatures change, T as q=cmT =CT .

7.Equilibrium(Part-I)
Some Important Points and Terms of the Chapter
1. Equilibrium represents the state of a process in which the properties like
temperature, pressure etc do not show any change with the passage of time
2. Chemical equilibrium: When the rates of the forward and reverse reactions
become equal, the concentrations of the reactants and the products remain
constant. This is the stage of chemical equilibrium. This equilibrium is dynamic in
nature as it consists of a forward reaction in which the reactants give product(s)
and reverse reaction in which product(s) gives the original reactants. Equilibrium
is possible only in a closed system at a given temperature. A mixture of reactants
and products in the equilibrium state is called an equilibrium mixture.
3. In a Homogeneous system, all the reactants and products are in the same phase.
For example, in the gaseous reaction, N2 (g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g), reactants and
products are in the homogeneous phase.
4. Equilibrium in a system having more than one phase is called heterogeneous
equilibrium. The equilibrium between water vapor and liquid water in a closed
container is an example of heterogeneous equilibrium. H2O(l) H2O(g)

5. Henry Law:-It states that the mass of a gas dissolved in a given mass of a solvent
at any temperature is proportional to the pressure of the gas above the solvent
6. Law of Chemical Equilibrium: It may be stated as, at a given temperature the
ratio of product of equilibrium concentration of the products to that of the reactants
with each concentration terms raised to power equal to the respective
stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced chemical reaction has a constant value.
This constant value is known as Equilibrium constant. For a general reaction of the
type aA + bB cC + dD
Kc = [C]c[D]d /[A]a [B]b
Equilibrium
7. Relationship between Kp and Kc: Kp = Kc(RT) n
8. Units of Equilibrium Constant: The value of equilibrium constant Kc can be
calculated by substituting the concentration terms in mol/L and for Kp partial
pressure is substituted in Pa, kPa, bar or atm. This results in units of equilibrium
constant based on molarity or pressure, unless the exponents of both the numerator
and denominator are same. For the reactions
and Kp have no unit.(ii)N2O4(g) 2NO2 (g), Kc has unit mol/L and Kp has unit
bar
9. Characteristics Of Equilibrium Constant
Equilibrium constant is applicable only when concentrations of the reactants
and products have attained their equilibrium state.
The value of equilibrium constant is independent of initial concentrations of
the reactants and products.
Equilibrium constant is temperature dependent having one unique value for
aparticular reaction represented by a balanced equation at a given temperature.
The equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction is equal to the inverse of the
equilibrium constant for the forward reaction.
The equilibrium constant K for a reaction is related to the equilibrium constant
of the corresponding reaction, whose equation is obtained by multiplying or
dividing the equation for the original reaction by a small integer.
10. Applications of equilibrium constant :
Effect of Inert Gas Addition: If the volume is kept constant and an inert gas such
as argon is added which does not take part in the reaction, the equilibrium remains
undisturbed. It is because the addition of an inert gas at constant volume does not
change the partial pressures or the molar concentrations of the substance involved
in the reaction. The reaction quotient changes only if the added gas is a reactant or
product involved in the reaction.
Effect of a Catalyst: A catalyst increases the rate of the chemical reaction by
making available a new low energy pathway for the conversion of reactants to
products. It increases the rate of forward and reverse reactions that pass through
the same transition state and does not affect equilibrium. Catalyst lowers the
activation energy for the forward and reverse reactions by exactly the same
amount. Catalyst does not affect the equilibrium composition of a reaction
mixture. It does not appear in the balanced chemical equation or in the equilibrium
constant expression.

Question 7.1:
A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed
temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased.
a) What is the initial effect of the change on vapour pressure?
b) How do rates of evaporation and condensation change initially?
c) What happens when equilibrium is restored finally and what will be the final
vapour pressure?
Answer
(a) If the volume of the container is suddenly increased, then the vapour pressure
would decrease initially. This is because the amount of vapour remains the same,
but the volume increases suddenly. As a result, the same amount of vapour is
distributed in a larger volume.
(b) Since the temperature is constant, the rate of evaporation also remains constant.
When the volume of the container is increased, the density of the vapour phase
decreases. As a result, the rate of collisions of the vapour particles also decreases.
Hence, the rate of condensation decreases initially.
(c) When equilibrium is restored finally, the rate of evaporation becomes equal to
the rate of condensation. In this case, only the volume changes while the

below:
When 0.087 mol of NO and 0.0437 mol of Br2 are mixed in a closed container at
constant temperature, 0.0518 mol of NOBr is obtained at equilibrium. Calculate
equilibrium amount of NO and Br2.
Answer
The given reaction is:
Now, 2 mol of NOBr are formed from 2 mol of NO. Therefore, 0.0518 mol of
NOBr are formed from 0.0518 mol of NO.
Again, 2 mol of NOBr are formed from 1 mol of Br.
Therefore, 0.0518 mol of NOBr are formed from
mol of Br, or
0.0259 mol of NO
The amount of NO and Br present initially is as follows:
[NO] = 0.087 mol [Br2] = 0.0437 mol
Therefore, the amount of NO present at equilibrium is:
[NO] = 0.087 0.0518
= 0.0352 mol

Calculate the degree of ionization of 0.05M acetic acid if its pKa value is 4.74.
How is the degree of dissociation affected when its solution also contains (a)
0.01 M (b) 0.1 M in HCl?
Answer
When HCl is added to the solution, the concentration of H+ ions will increase.
Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the backward direction i.e., dissociation of
acetic acid will decrease.
Case I: When 0.01 M HCl is taken.
Let x be the amount of acetic acid dissociated after the addition of HCl.
As the dissociation of a very small amount of acetic acid will take place, the values
i.e., 0.05 x and 0.01 + x can be taken as 0.05 and 0.01 respectively.
