IJSO CHEMISTRY SYLLABUS

Particles, waves and matter

Matter is structured from the smallest particle to the size of the universe. The microscopic structure of matter is responsible for the features we observe macroscopically. The students should be aware of this structure and be familiar with the following concepts: 

 What things are made of

o Structure of particles and atoms (neutrons, protons, electrons, nature of bonding)

o Elements, isotopes and compounds

o Composition of molecules, chemical substances

o Mixtures, colloids and suspensions

 Periodic table - concept, organization and structure

States of matter and its properties

Solids, liquids, gases and plasmas - characteristics and differences

o Lattices as a special form of solid matter

o Properties of matter (density, volume, electrical conductivity, insulators and conductors, elastic behaviour, thermal expansion, (specific) heat capacity, defining properties of metals, non-metals, alloys)

o Phase transitions and their influence on the properties of matter (latent heat, phase diagrams, change of volume and density)

o Water and its different phases

SIGNIFICANT QUESTION- II

1. What do you mean by stereo isomerism ?
   
2. What do you mean by coordination compound? let explain isomerism in coordination compound.

4. Give postulates of crystal field theory? on the basis of it let explain when will be high spin complex perform.
5. Let explain canizarro reaction and aldol condensation?
6. What do you mean by Gibbs free energy? give relation related to electrode potential and Gibbs free energy.
7. Write Nernst equation?
8. What is electrode potential ?
9. Give reactions-

1. Swartz reaction
   
2. Frinklestein reaction, Lucas test,Gabriel pthallamide reaction

ELEMENT : AN INTRODUCTION

• Element is a pure substance which contains same kind of atoms ,like H2,N2,P4,S8.if u will observe then you will find 8 atoms are present in case of S8 but all of them are same kind .Hence we can say very evediently here that sulphur is an element.
• Each element has its full name but they also have their nick name .......i.e.there is provision of short abbreviation which is termed as Symbol .
• The concept of symbol is given by Sir J.J.Berzelius.
• We use first letter for symbol of an element; like for Carbon we use "C" as symbol.But if we find there is similarity in first letter of another element,then we use first and another letter which is not similar , like in case of Chlorine we use "Cl" and for Chromium we use "Cr".
• sometime we find we use their Latin name for determination of symbol.
• Like in case of - Tungsten we use "W" as symbol because its Latin name is "Wolfram"
• By this way we adopt "Fe" as symbol for Iron because its Latin name is "Ferrum"
• Like this there are too many examples for bsymbols which are adopted from their Latin name .

KINDS OF MATTER

• we can classify matter in two sub classes -
• A.Pure matter- a. elements b. compounds
  
• B.Mixture - a. homogeneous b. heterogeneous

KILOGRAM

• Anything which is just equivalent to the mass of the piece of platinum and iridium which is located in Paris .
• Mass of one liter of water at 4 degree centigrade temperature is also termed as kilogram.
• S.I. unit of mass is also kilogram .
• One pound is also equals to .453 kg
