Flashcards

Chemical Kinetics

The study of how the rate of a chemical reaction changes over time, including factors that influence reaction speed, reaction mechanisms, and techniques for controlling reactions such as collision and transition state theories.

Coordination Compounds

Compounds formed between metal cations and neutral molecules or ions (ligands) that donate electron pairs. These compounds can exhibit distinct geometric shapes, oxidation states, and applications such as catalysts, corrosion inhibitors, and dyes.

Alcohols

Organic compounds containing the hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a saturated carbon atom.

Phenols

Organic compounds containing a hydroxyl group (-OH) directly attached to an aromatic ring.

Study Notes

Chemistry Class 12 Board Exam - Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)

Preparing for your final year of secondary education can be both exciting and challenging, especially when it comes to learning chemistry's diverse and fascinating concepts. In this context, we'll delve into five major topics from the CBSE Class 12 syllabus—chemical kinetics, coordination compounds, alcohols, phenols, and ethers, along with their related aspects.

Chemical Kinetics

Learn how reactions progress over time by studying rates of reaction, factors affecting them, mechanisms, and ways to control these processes like collisions theory, transition state theory, and Arrhenius equation. Understand zero-, first-, second-, and pseudo-order reactions, rate laws, and activation energy.

Coordination Compounds

Study complexes formed between metal cations and ligands, including their geometry, oxidation states, nomenclature, preparation methods, and applications such as catalysts, corrosion inhibitors, and dyes. Key techniques covered here are EDXRA, IR spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility.

Alcohols, Phenols, Ethers

Explore the structure–property relationships of various organic molecules, including primary, secondary, tertiary alcohols, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, and their derivatives, aromatic hydroxy compounds called phenols, and ether functional groups. Learn to recognize their physical properties and prepare some common examples through laboratory exercises.

Electrochemistry

Discover the interconnection of chemistry and electricity by understanding redox reactions, galvanic cells, Nernst equation, Faraday's law, and fuel cell technology. Study half-cells, cells, batteries, and corrosion, and learn how to calculate cell potentials and moles of electrons transferred during redox processes.

These themes intertwine as you move up the ladder of knowledge, providing a holistic viewpoint of each concept and its relevance in real life scenarios. As you explore the world of chemistry, remember to practice regularly, attend tutorial sessions, and refer to trustworthy resources while building a strong foundation grounded in facts rather than assumptions.
