    • Writing and Composition: Skills for effective communication.
      • Importance of clarity and coherence.
      • Different forms of writing (essays, stories, letters).

    Classical Mechanics

    • Newton's three laws of motion govern the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and its motion in response to those forces.
    • Energy, the capacity to do work, exists in various forms (kinetic, potential, etc.) and is conserved in closed systems.
    • Momentum, a measure of mass in motion, is also conserved in the absence of external forces.

    Thermodynamics

    • The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
    • The Second Law of Thermodynamics describes the increase of entropy (disorder) and irreversibility in natural processes.
    • Enthalpy represents the total heat content of a system at constant pressure.

    Electromagnetism

    • Maxwell's equations unify electricity and magnetism, describing their interactions and the propagation of electromagnetic waves.
    • Voltage is the electrical potential difference between two points. Current is the flow of electric charge. Resistance opposes the flow of current.

    Quantum Mechanics

    • Wave-particle duality describes the ability of matter to exhibit properties of both waves and particles.
    • The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously know both the position and momentum of a particle with perfect accuracy.

    Atomic Structure

    • Atoms consist of protons (positive charge), neutrons (neutral charge), and electrons (negative charge).
    • Atomic number represents the number of protons, defining an element's identity. Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.

    Chemical Bonding

    • Ionic bonds result from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
    • Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.
    • Metallic bonds arise from the delocalized electrons in a metal lattice.

    Stoichiometry

    • Balanced chemical equations represent the quantitative relationships between reactants and products.
    • Molar mass is the mass of one mole (6.022 x 1023) of a substance.

    Thermochemistry

    • Exothermic reactions release heat to their surroundings, while endothermic reactions absorb heat.
    • Calorimetry techniques measure the heat changes in chemical reactions.

    Cell Biology

    • Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells possess both.
    • Organelles like mitochondria (energy production) and the endoplasmic reticulum (protein synthesis) perform specialized functions.

    Genetics

    • Mendelian genetics explains inheritance patterns based on the segregation and independent assortment of genes.
    • DNA’s double helix structure carries the genetic code, directing protein synthesis and inheritable traits.

    Evolution

    • Natural selection favors individuals with advantageous traits, leading to adaptation and speciation.
    • Fossil records, comparative anatomy, and molecular biology provide evidence for evolution.

    Ecology

    • Ecosystems consist of all living organisms (biotic factors) and their physical environment (abiotic factors) in a specific area.
    • Food webs illustrate the complex feeding relationships within ecosystems.

    Grammar (English & Hindi)

    • English and Hindi grammars both utilize nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc., but their structures and rules differ significantly. Both languages have various sentence structures.

    Literature (English & Hindi)

    • Both English and Hindi literature encompass diverse genres (fiction, poetry, drama) and literary devices (metaphor, symbolism).
    • Knowledge of significant authors and works is crucial for understanding literary movements and cultural contexts in both languages.

    Writing Skills (English & Hindi)

    • Effective writing in both languages necessitates clarity, coherence, and appropriate structure (e.g., essay format).
    • Different writing forms (essays, stories, letters) require specific approaches and stylistic choices.
