The Solid State

This chapter deals with the solid state of a substance. This chapter deals with crystalline and amorphous solids, as well as stoichiometric ans non-stoichiometric imperfections or defects in solids. It explains the structure of unit cell in detail, and then builds up to explain the solid state. The work sheets and notes available on gurucool classes justifies the concepts explained in the textbook, and helps the students reinforce the fundamentals.

Solutions

The second chapter deals with the study of types of solutions, and their physical properties. This chapter has the concepts of Raoult’s law, concentration of solutions, vapor pressure of liquid solutions, abnormal molar masses, and colligative properties. The work sheets and notes are made to reinforce the concepts, and the solutions aid the students in the same. The questions from this chapter have 5 marks in the Board exam.

Electrochemistry

This chapter deals with the study of conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy and chemical energy into electrical energy by using electrochemical cell. Students also learn about the Galvanic cell, Daniel cell and the electrolytic cell. The chapter explains the standard potential of the cell, Gibbs energy of cell reaction, and the relation with the equilibrium constant. The students will also learn the Kohlrausch Law and its applications. I have also made some work sheets and notes according to the syllabus.

Chemical Kinetics

This chapter deals with the study of kinetics, or the rate of a reaction. The topics covered include the factors affecting the rate of a reaction, the integrated rate equation, Pseudo First Order reactions, and the collision theory of chemical reactions. This chapter also includes Arrhenius equations and based numericals. This chapter is responsible from engineering and medical sciences point of view too.

Surface Chemistry

The fifth chapter deals with emulsions, adsorption, adsorption isotherms, factors controlling adsorption of gases and liquids, and catalysts and their role in industry. The chapter further explores colloids and their applications.

General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elements

This chapter deal with the inorganic chemistry portion of the syllabus. The chapter explores the occurence of metals, the concentration of ores, cleaning and extraction, of crude metal from ores, thermodynamic and electrochemical principles of metallurgy, and the refining process

p Block Elements

The chapter deals with the Group 15 elements, Oxides of Nitrogen, Allotropes of Phosphorus, Group 16 elements, simple oxides, allotropes of sulfur, chlorine, and other elements. This chapter also includes Group 17 and Group 18 elements. Interhalogen compounds and structure and hybridization of compounds of Xenon also the important part of this chapter.

d and f Block Elements

The chapter deals with the properties of transition elements, colored ions and complex compounds, variation in sizes of elements, ionization enthalpies, magnetic properties, and oxidation states. The chapter deals with d block elements and their properties and variations.

Coordination Compounds

The compounds dealt with here, are relatively and the concepts are novel, and therefore the students are required to pay special attention to the chapter. The chapter explains Werner’s theory of Coordination compounds, Bonding in Coordination compounds, Nomenclature, Isomerism and others. The chapter can be well understood through the exercises and solutions, that help to reinforce the fundamentals.

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Students learn the concepts of IUPAC nomenclature of Haloalkanes and Haloarenes. They will also learn the applications of organometallic reactions, preparation of haloalkanes and haloarenes, and stereochemistry. The students also learn to design the reaction mechanism.

Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers

This chapter also begins with the IUPAC nomenclature of alcohols, phenols and ethers. They also deal with the preparation of alcohols, phenols, and ethers. They further explore the properties of the same.

Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

The next ones in line are the aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids. The IUPAC names, to start with, the chapter explores their preparation methods, the key reactions, characteristic tests, and other properties.

Amines

The ten subtopics include the preparation methods, the physical properties, the chemical reactions, the methods to prepare diazonium salts, the importance of diazonium salts in synthesis of Aromatic Compounds.

Biomolecules

In this chapter, students learn about biomolecules like glucose, fructose, starch, glycogen, etc. They get to learn about the structure, the classes, and the properties of carbohydrates and proteins. They also learn about the reactions of some biomolecules.

Polymers

This chapter deals with the science of polymers, the various types of polymers, whether addition or condensation, linear or cross linked, their reactions, and their properties. This chapter also deals with some well known polymers and their applications.

Chemistry in Everyday Life

This chapter deals with the importance of chemistry in everyday life, mainly drug action, drug classification and uses, and the target interaction, along with chemicals in food and cleansing agents.

NCERT textbooks are prescribed by CBSE as the best books for preparation of the school as well as board examinations. Designed in a fairly simple language, we have made sure that the solutions cover all the fundamental concepts. The solutions are hundred percent error free, and easily comprehensible.
