Major Themes in NVS TGT Science Chemistry

**1. Fundamentals of Chemistry:

• Atomic Structure: Study the structure of atoms, including protons, neutrons, and electrons, and their arrangement in different energy levels or shells. Understand concepts such as atomic number, mass number, and isotopes.
• Periodic Table: Familiarize yourself with the periodic table, including groups, periods, and the classification of elements into metals, non-metals, and metalloids. Study trends such as atomic size, ionization energy, and electronegativity.

**2. Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure:

• Types of Bonds: Learn about different types of chemical bonds, including ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. Understand how these bonds form and their properties.
• Molecular Geometry: Study VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory to determine the shapes of molecules and understand the concept of hybridization.

**3. States of Matter:

• Gases: Understand the properties of gases and the gas laws (Boyle’s Law, Charles’s Law, Gay-Lussac’s Law, and the Ideal Gas Law).
• Liquids and Solids: Study the characteristics of liquids and solids, including intermolecular forces, phase transitions, and properties like viscosity and surface tension.

**4. Chemical Reactions:

• Types of Reactions: Familiarize yourself with various types of chemical reactions, including synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and combustion reactions.
• Balancing Reactions: Practice balancing chemical equations and understand the principles of stoichiometry, including the concept of limiting reagents and yield.

**5. Acids, Bases, and Salts:

• Properties and Theories: Study the properties of acids and bases, including the Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis theories. Understand concepts like pH, pOH, and the use of indicators.
• Salts: Learn about the formation, types, and uses of salts. Study the concept of neutralization reactions and the solubility of salts.

**6. Organic Chemistry:

• Hydrocarbons: Understand the different types of hydrocarbons, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds. Learn about their structures, nomenclature, and reactions.
• Functional Groups: Study various functional groups such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. Understand their chemical properties and reactions.

**7. Environmental Chemistry:

• Pollution: Learn about different types of pollution (air, water, soil) and their chemical causes and effects. Study methods for pollution control and environmental protection.
• Green Chemistry: Understand the principles of green chemistry aimed at reducing environmental impact through sustainable practices and eco-friendly chemical processes.

**8. Chemistry in Everyday Life:

• Applications: Study the role of chemistry in everyday life, including its applications in medicine, agriculture, industry, and household products. Understand how chemical principles are applied to solve real-world problems.

**9. Laboratory Techniques and Safety:

• Techniques: Familiarize yourself with common laboratory techniques such as titration, filtration, distillation, and chromatography.
• Safety: Understand laboratory safety protocols and practices to ensure safe handling of chemicals and equipment.

Study Tips:
