Description
Class 12 Chemistry builds a foundational and advanced understanding of chemical sciences. Divided into Physical, Inorganic, and Organic branches, it covers quantitative principles of matter, complex molecular structures, and real-world industrial applications. The syllabus develops problem-solving skills and a strong conceptual grasp of core scientific phenomena.
Categorised under 3 branches:
# PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
This section blends chemistry and mathematics to study the physical properties, rates, and energy changes of chemical systems.
+ Solutions: Concentration terms, Raoult's Law, colligative properties, and van 't Hoff factor.
+ Electrochemistry: Electrochemical cells, Faraday’s laws, Nernst equation and batteries.
+ Chemical Kinetics: Rate of reactions, rate laws, activation energy, and the Arrhenius equation.
# INORGANIC CHEMISTRY
This branch explores the behaviour, periodic properties, and bonding of elements and their compounds.
+ D and F block elements: General trends in properties of transition metals, lanthanoids, and actinoids.
+ Coordination Compounds: Nomenclature, isomerism, Werner's theory, Valence Bond Theory (VBT), and Crystal Field Theory (CFT).
# ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Organic chemistry focuses on the structure, properties, and reactions of carbon-based compounds, emphasizing mechanisms and organic synthesis.
