WB SLST 2025 Chemistry Syllabus for Classes XI-XII

This syllabus is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of Chemistry fundamentals and applications, preparing students effectively for the WB SLST 2025 examination.

1. Physical Chemistry

• States of Matter : Study of the physical properties and behavior of gases, liquids, solids, and colloids. Emphasis on gas laws, kinetic molecular theory, phase transitions, and colloidal systems.
• Thermodynamics & Equilibria : Understanding the laws of thermodynamics, concepts of enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy. Application of phase rule to different systems. Study of ionic and electrochemical equilibria including pH, buffer solutions, and electrode potentials.
• Kinetics & Catalysis : Exploration of reaction rates, factors affecting them, rate laws, and mechanisms. Detailed study of adsorption phenomena, types of catalysis (homogeneous and heterogeneous), and basics of photochemistry.

2. Inorganic Chemistry

• Atomic Structure & Bonding : Fundamentals of quantum mechanics, electronic configuration, and principles of radioactivity. Detailed bonding theories including ionic, covalent, metallic, and molecular orbital theories.
• Periodic Trends & s/p-Block Elements : Properties, trends, and chemical behavior of groups 13 to 17 elements. Study of acid-base theories (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, Lewis) and their applications.
• d-Block & Coordination Chemistry : Characteristics of transition elements, their compounds, and coordination chemistry fundamentals. Introduction to organometallic compounds and their significance.

3. Organic Chemistry

• Basics & Mechanisms : Chemical bonding in organic molecules, types of isomerism (structural and stereoisomerism), and fundamental reaction mechanisms (substitution, addition, elimination).
• Aliphatic & Aromatic Compounds : Study of hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds), their reactions, and derivatives such as alcohols, carboxylic acids, heterocyclic compounds, and dyes.
• Carbohydrates & Amino Acids : Structure, classification, synthesis, and biological functions of carbohydrates and amino acids, including basic peptide formation.

4. Applied Chemistry

• Bioinorganic Chemistry : Role and importance of metals in biological systems, including metalloproteins and enzymes.
• Analytical Chemistry : Techniques such as spectroscopy (UV-Vis, IR), chromatography (TLC, column), and principles of error analysis and data interpretation.
• Environmental Chemistry : Study of pollution types, green chemistry principles for sustainable development, fertilizers, and polymer chemistry including synthesis and applications.

Important Notes: Focus on understanding concepts with practical examples and problem-solving techniques. Regular practice of numerical problems and reaction mechanisms is recommended. Emphasize application-based questions to excel in the examination.
