(Conversions**) and Molar masses.
2. Structure of Atom
Atomic models – Bohr’s model for hydrogen atom – Quantum mechanical model of
atom.
3. Classification of elements and Periodicity in properties

(Atomic & Ionic radius, I.E, E.A, E.N) definition – Periodic trends in properties
across the groups and periods and reason for the trend.
4. Chemical bonding and Molecular Structure
Lewis dot structure – Ionic bond/covalent bond/ sigma bond/pi bond –**resonance
with reference to the CO32- – Bond parameters (Bond length, Bond Enthalpy, Bond
angle and Bond order) – V.B.T – M.O.T.

Heterogenous equilibria – Kp, Kc relationship - Applications of equilibrium constant -
Le-Chatelier principle and factors affecting equilibria [all factors (concentration,
temperature, pressure, catalyst and Inert gas) with N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)) **

of acid and base - Numerical
7. Redox reactions
Oxidation and Reduction reactions – Redox reactions in terms of electron transfer
reactions – Oxidation number.
8. Organic Chemistry: Some basic principles and Techniques
Classification of Organic compounds – Nomenclature (Name to structure/ Structure
to name) – Isomerism – Fundamental concepts of Organic reaction mechanism
(Types of bond cleavage, Electrophile and Nucleophile difference, Inductive effect,
Resonance effect, Hyperconjugation, Mesomeric effect).
9. Hydrocarbons
Classifications – Alkanes – Alkenes – Alkynes for all (Nomenclature, Preparation
(naming), Chemical properties (naming)).
Note: Study well, do not waste your time unnecessarily. Its waste regretting after a
cause, think and act well.
