Chapter 1: The Solid State
Chapter 1 of Class 12th Chemistry is âThe Solid Stateâ, which was not covered in class 11th under the chapter âStates of Matterâ. In this chapter, the solid state of matter is discussed with varying detail, like how matter in a solid state is structured in the form of a lattice with a different type of packing of matter.
The complete list of all the topics that are covered in this chapter is as follows:
- General Characteristics of Solid State
- Amorphous and Crystalline Solids
- Classification of Crystalline Solids
- Crystal Lattices and Chapter Cells
- Number of Atoms in a Chapter Cell
- Close Packed Structures
- Packing Efficiency
- Imperfections in Solids

- Magnetic Properties
Chapter 2: Solutions
Chapter 2 of Class 12 reintroduces us to the concept of solutions but this time study of solutions is very well-detailed with topics like the solubility of gases in liquid and solid solutions. Other than solutions Raoltâs law, abnormal molecular mass, and Osmosis is also introduced and other topics which this chapter includes are:
- Types of solutions
- Expression of Concentration of solutions of solids in liquids
- Solubility of Gases in Liquids
- Solid solutions
- Raoultâs law
- Colligative properties and Determination of molecular masses using colligative properties
- Osmosis and Osmotic pressure
- Abnormal Molecular Mass
- Vanât Hoff factor
Chapter 3: Electrochemistry
Chapter 3 in the set of all chapters is âElectrochemistryâ, which is self-explanatory in name and deals with electricity and its influence on chemical equations. As cells store their energy using electrolytes which use various chemical concepts like redox reactions, the study of cells and emf also came under this chapter.
The complete list of all the other topics covered in this chapter is as follows:
- Redox Reactions
- EMF of a cell
- Standard electrode potential
- Nernst equation and its application to chemical cells
- Relation between Gibbs energy change and EMF of a cell
- Conductance in electrolytic solutions
- Specific and molar conductivity, variations of conductivity with concentration
- Kohlrauschâs Law
- Electrolysis and Law of electrolysis
- Dry cell
- Galvanic cells
- Fuel Cells
- Corrosion
Chapter 4: Chemical Kinetics
In class 12th Chemistry, chapter 4 is âChemical Kineticsâ, which is the branch of chemistry that deals with rate and the factor affecting the rate of the reaction. In this chapter, we study the rate law of reactions, order of reaction, and activation energy. Also, we study about the methods of determining the rate of reaction and other topics as follows:
Chapter 5: Surface Chemistry
Chapter 5 in the NCERT textbook is âSurface Chemistry,â which is the branch of chemistry concerned with the processes occurring at interfaces between phases. In this chapter, new concepts like adsorption and absorption, as well as previously known topics such as colloids and their classification, are introduced.
The complete list of topics in this chapter includes:
Chapter 6: General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elements
Chapter 6 of class 12th Chemistry is âGeneral Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elementsâ. In this chapter, we study the occurrence of metal in the earthâs crust and methods for the isolation of these metals from ores (metals naturally found in this form).
All the methods for extraction of metal from the ores includes topics like:
Chapter 7: The p-Block Elements
Chapter 7 in Class 12 Chemistry is âThe p-Block Elementsâ, which is the same name as the chapter in class 11th. But in this chapter, the remaining part of the p-Block element is covered which was not covered in class 11th.
All the elements from group 15 to group 18 are covered in this chapter and the complete list of all the topics covered in this chapter are as follows:
- Group 15 Elements
- Dinitrogen
- Ammonia
- Oxides of Nitrogen
- Nitric Acid
- Phosphorus â Allotropic Forms
- Phosphine
- Phosphorus Halides
- Oxoacids of Phosphorus
- Group 16 Elements
- Oxygen
- Simple Oxides
- Ozone
- Sulphur â Allotropic Forms
- Sulphur Dioxide
- Oxoacids of Sulphur
- Sulphuric Acid
- Group 17 Elements
- Chlorine
- Hydrogen Chloride
- Oxoacids of Halogens
- Interhalogen Compounds
- Group 18 elements- Noble Gases
Chapter 8: d- and f-Block Elements
After the complete study of s and p-Block elements, chapter 8 introduces the remaining two blocks of the modern periodic table which are âd- and f-Block elementsâ which are also known as transition and inner-transition metals. In this, chapter, we study the position and these blocks in the periodic table and the reasoning behind why they were positioned there.
Additionally, the complete list of all the topics covered in this chapter is as follows:
Chapter 9: Coordination Compounds
Chapter 9 (which is the last chapter of the first textbook) of this list is âCoordination Compoundsâ and it is as the name suggests the study of coordination compounds which are also known as complex compounds. In these compounds, one central metal is attached to other atoms or groups of atoms called ligands.
Additionally, in this chapter we study a lot of topics which are as follows:
- Coordination Compounds and Important terms in coordination compounds
- IUPAC nomenclature of coordination compounds
- Bonding in metal carbonyls
- Wernerâs theory
- Valence bond theory in coordination Compounds
- Crystal field theory
- Isomerism in coordination compounds
- Geometric and optical isomerism
- Importance and applications of coordination compounds
Chapter 10: Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
With chapter 10 (the first chapter of the second textbook), we start the journey of organic chemistry in class 12. As alkanes were introduced in class 11th, so here haloalkanes and haloarenes are introduced which are the same as alkanes but with some halogen atoms attached to them.
In this chapter, we study, classification, nomenclature, preparation, properties, and all the important reactions involving haloalkanes.
Chapter 11: Alcohols, Phenols, and Ethers
After the âHaloalkanes and Haloarenesâ chapter eleven, âAlcohols, Phenols, and Ethersâ discuss, as the name suggests, alcohols, phenols, and ethers. Chapter 11 covers topics such as the nomenclature of these organic compounds, their reaction with other organic as well as inorganic compounds, and also their preparation in the labs.
The list of topics covered in this chapter includes:
Chapter 12: Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carboxylic Acids
Chapter 12 in this series is âAldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acidsâ which again covers all the similar topics which are covered in the previous chapter âAlcohols, Phenols, and Ethersâ but for the aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids.
The complete list of all the topics covered under this notes for this chapter is as follows:
- Nomenclature and structure of carbonyl group
- Physical properties of Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carboxylic Acids
- Preparation of aldehydes and ketones
- Nucleophilic addition reaction
