PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY

SOME BASIC CONCEPTS OF CHEMISTRY

1. Conversion or relationship - 0C to F or vice versa
2. SI units
3. The laws: Gay- Lassac, Avagadro, conservation of mass etc
4. Molarity/Molality/Limiting reagent definition
5. Significant figure
6. Problem on Molarity calculation or no of moles of something produced where equation
writing is important (Refer solved problems in NCERT)
7. Finding out empirical and molecular formula. (Refer solved problems in NCERT)
8. State Daltons atomic theory’ postulates.

STRUCTURE OF ATOMS
1. Definition: Heisenberg’s uncertainty principal, Aufbau, Hund’s (with example), isotopes
2. Shape of all the orbitals
3. Electronic configuration of Cu and Cr
4. de Broglie’s equation
5. Problems on wavelength/wave number calculation (Refer solved problems in NCERT)
6. Significance of Quantum numbers
7. Explain line spectrum of hydrogen based on Bohr’s theory (need to write the equation also,
refer NCERT)

THERMODYNAMICS: Refer the book I have given, Study that thoroughly

Refer NCERT and practice all the reactions under standard energy of formation/combustion etc
without fail.
Also Born-Haber cycle
EQUILIBRIUM: Refer the book I have given. Special attention to Lechatelier’s principle with
example and conjugate acid-base pair with example

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY
CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS & PERIODICITY IN PROPERTIES
1. Nomenclature of elements with atomic number > 100
2. Define Modern Periodic Law
3. Lanthanides, Actinides, Chalcogens, Transition metals – Definition
4. Different radii
5. Isoelectronic species with example
6. Definition and variation along period and down the group of enthalpy, electronegativity,
atomic radius, electron gain enthalpy

CHEMICAL BONDING & MOLECULAR STRUCTURES Refer the book I have given, Study
that thoroughly
Formation of any one of the molecule from NCERT is confirmed. Study all of them thoroughly
VSEPR theory, Hydrogen bond, dipole moment (definition and reasoning), difference between
sigma & pi bond, BMO & ABMO, writing Lewis dot structures are more likely to be asked

REDOX REACTIONS Scoring chapter

Refer the book I have given and NCERT, Study thoroughly
One balancing question is sure out of 4 solved in NCERT.
Disproportionation reaction with example, Oxidation number calculation (refer rules)

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES
Refer the book I have given, Study that thoroughly
HYDROCARBONS
Named reactions, named catalysts, Mechanisms, isomers are important
