Chemistry

The syllabus for IIT JEE Chemistry is extensive and covers various topics across the three main branches of chemistry: Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Inorganic Chemistry. Here’s a comprehensive overview of the syllabus:

Physical Chemistry:

1. Basic concepts of Chemistry: Laws of chemical combination, mole concept, atomic structure, periodic properties, chemical bonding, molecular structure, and hybridization.
2. States of Matter: Gaseous state, liquid state, solid-state, solutions, and colligative properties.
3. Chemical Thermodynamics: First law of thermodynamics, second law of thermodynamics, spontaneity, entropy, Gibbs free energy, and chemical equilibrium.
4. Chemical Kinetics: Rate of reaction, factors affecting rate of reaction, integrated rate equations, and reaction mechanisms.
5. Electrochemistry: Electrochemical cells, Nernst equation, electrolysis, conductance, and conductometric titrations.
6. Surface Chemistry: Adsorption, colloids, and catalysis.
7. Nuclear Chemistry: Radioactivity, nuclear reactions, and nuclear energy.

Organic Chemistry:

1. Basic Principles: Nomenclature, isomerism, electronic effects, resonance, and hyperconjugation.
2. Hydrocarbons: Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, benzene, and aromatic compounds.
3. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes: Preparation, reactions, and uses.
