• Classification of Organic Compounds: Learn how organic compounds are classified based on functional groups, structure, and reactivity.

**2. Nomenclature:

• IUPAC Naming: Study the rules for naming organic compounds according to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) system. Practice naming alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and compounds with functional groups.
• Common Names: Be aware of common names for frequently encountered organic compounds and their uses.

**3. Hydrocarbons:

• Alkanes: Learn about the properties, reactions, and uses of alkanes. Understand concepts such as isomerism and structural formulas.
• Alkenes and Alkynes: Study the properties, reactions (such as addition reactions), and applications of alkenes and alkynes. Focus on their structure, bonding, and reactivity.
• Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Understand the structure and properties of aromatic compounds like benzene and its derivatives. Learn about electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.

**4. Functional Groups:

• Alcohols: Study the classification, properties, and reactions of alcohols. Understand the distinction between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.
• Aldehydes and Ketones: Learn about the properties and reactions of aldehydes and ketones, including oxidation and reduction processes.
• Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives: Study the properties and reactions of carboxylic acids, esters, amides, and anhydrides. Understand the formation and hydrolysis of esters and amides.
• Amines: Learn about the classification, properties, and reactions of amines. Understand their role in biological systems and organic synthesis.

**5. Isomerism:

• Structural Isomerism: Understand different types of structural isomerism including chain isomerism, position isomerism, and functional group isomerism.
• Stereoisomerism: Study stereoisomerism, including geometric (cis-trans) isomerism and optical isomerism (enantiomers and diastereomers). Learn about chiral centers and symmetry in molecules.

**6. Reactions and Mechanisms:

• Reaction Mechanisms: Study the mechanisms of important organic reactions including addition, elimination, substitution, and rearrangement reactions.
• Reaction Types: Focus on specific reactions such as nucleophilic substitution, electrophilic addition, and radical reactions. Learn about key reagents and conditions.

**7. Organic Synthesis:

• Synthesis Strategies: Understand the principles of organic synthesis including the design of synthetic routes and the use of protecting groups.
• Applications: Study practical applications of organic synthesis in pharmaceuticals, polymers, and materials.

**8. Practical Organic Chemistry:

• Laboratory Techniques: Learn about common laboratory techniques used in organic chemistry such as distillation, extraction, chromatography, and spectroscopy.
• Safety Measures: Understand the safety protocols and proper handling of chemicals in the laboratory.

**9. Environmental and Industrial Chemistry:

• Green Chemistry: Study the principles of green chemistry and sustainable practices in organic chemistry.
• Industrial Applications: Learn about the industrial applications of organic compounds, including petrochemicals, dyes, and polymers.

**10. Practice and Application:

• Previous Years’ Papers: Review past NVS TGT Chemistry question papers to understand the types of questions asked and focus areas in Organic Chemistry.
• Sample Questions: Practice with sample questions and exercises to apply your knowledge and enhance problem-solving skills.

**11. Use of Effective Resources:

• Textbooks and Guides: Refer to standard textbooks like “Organic Chemistry” by Morrison and Boyd or “Organic Chemistry” by Clayden, Greeves, and Warren for detailed study.
• Online Resources: Utilize online platforms for tutorials, interactive quizzes, and additional practice.
