UNIT-I: Chemical Bonding and Nuclear Chemistry

Chemical Bonding: Molecular Orbital Theory-bonding, anti – bonding and non-bonding orbitals. Molecular orbital diagrams for Hydrogen, Helium, Nitrogen; discussion of bond order and magnetic properties. Nuclear Chemistry:  Fundamental  particles  –  Isotopes,  sobars, Isotones and Isomers-Differences between chemical reactions and Nuclear reactions-group displacement law. Nuclear binding energy- Mass defect-calculations. Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion-differences–Stellar  energy. Applications of  radioisotopes–carbon dating, rock dating and medicinal applications.

Unit-II: Industrial Chemistry

Fuels: Fuel gases: Natural gas, water gas, semi water gas, carbureted Water gas, producer gas, CNG, LPG and oil gas (manufacturing Details not required). Silicones: Synthesis, properties and uses of silicones. Fertilizers: Urea, ammonium sulphate, potassium nitrate, NPK fertilizer, superphosphate, triple super phosphate.

UNIT-III: Fundamental Concepts in Organic Chemistry

Hybridization: Orbital overlap, hybridization and geometry ofCH4, C2H4, C2H2 and C6H6. Electronic effects: Inductive effect and consequences on Ka and Kb of organic acids and bases, electromeric, mesomeric,  hyper conjugation and steric-examples. Reaction mechanisms: Types of reactions–aromaticity (Huckel’srule) – aromatic electrophilic substitution; nitration, halogenation, Friedel-Craft’salkylationandacylation.Heterocyclic compounds:Preparation, properties of pyrrole and pyridine.

UNIT-IV: Thermodynamics and Phase Equilibria

Thermodynamics: Types  of  systems,  reversible  and  irreversible processes, isothermal  and adiabatic processes  and  spontaneous processes. Statements of first law and second law of thermodynamics. significance. Free energy change and its importance (noderivation). Conditions for spontaneity in terms of entropy and Gibbs free energy. Relation ship between Gibbs free energy and entropy. Phase Equilibria: Phaserule – definition of termsinit. Applications of Phase rule to water system. Two component system-Reduced phase Rule and its application to asimple eutectic system (Pb-Ag).

UNIT-V: Analytical Chemistry

Introduction to qualitative and quantitative analysis.Principles of volumetric analysis. Separation and purification techniques–extraction, distillationand crystallization. Chromatography: principle and application of column, paper and thin Layer chromatography.
