JEE Advanced Chemistry Syllabus
1. General Topics
This includes basic concepts like the mole concept, equivalent weight, and laws of chemical combination. Understanding the periodic table and the properties of elements is also essential.
2. Gaseous and Liquid States
You will study the behavior of gases, ideal gas laws, real gases, and their deviations. The properties of liquids, including surface tension, viscosity, and types of forces between molecules, are covered.
3. Atomic Structure and Chemical Bonding
This section focuses on the structure of atoms, Bohr’s model, quantum mechanics, and the periodic properties of elements. In chemical bonding, topics like covalent, ionic, and metallic bonds, hybridization, molecular orbital theory, and shapes of molecules are discussed.
4. Energetics (Thermodynamics)
You will learn about energy changes in chemical reactions, enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy. The first law and second law of thermodynamics are crucial concepts here.
5. Chemical Equilibrium
This topic covers the dynamic nature of equilibrium, Le Chatelier's principle, and how equilibrium is established in chemical reactions. It includes both gaseous and ionic equilibrium.
6. Electrochemistry
This section deals with the conductance of electrolytes, electrochemical cells, Nernst equation, and electrolysis. You will also study redox reactions and Faraday’s laws of electrolysis.
7. Chemical Kinetics
This involves the study of reaction rates, factors affecting the speed of reactions, rate laws, and activation energy.
8. Solid State
You will learn about crystal lattices, unit cells, packing in solids, and the types of solids (ionic, covalent, metallic). Defects in crystals and their properties are also part of this topic.
9. Solutions
This section covers the different types of solutions, Raoult's law, colligative properties (like boiling point elevation, freezing point depression), and factors affecting solubility.
10. Surface Chemistry
It involves the s
