each, any five have to be attempted).
Section B: (Long answers type);30 marks, two questions of fifteen marks each. Both the
questions are compulsory with internal choice.
B. Internal assessment
For each theory paper internal assessment shall be conducted periodically (in the form of
class tests and/or assignments/ group discussion/ oral presentation/ overall performance)
during the semester period. Total marks allotted to internal assessment shall be 25. The
evaluated answer sheets/assignments have to be retained by the Professor In-Charge for the

attendance) of total 12 marks for each semester shall be conducted during the semester. A
minimum of 12 experiments covering all kinds of exercises have to be conducted during a
semester. Maximum 5 marks of attendance can be given to the students. In each semester

Course outcomes: There is nothing more fundamental to chemistry than the chemical
bond. Chemical bonding is the language of logic for chemists. Chemical bonding enables
scientists to take the 100-plus elements of the periodic table and combine them in myriad
ways to form chemical compounds and materials. Periodic trends, arising from the
arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly
predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure
of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the
periodic nature of the elements. Reaction mechanism gives the fundamental knowledge of
carrying out an organic reaction in a step-by-step manner. This course will provide a
broad foundation in chemistry that stresses scientific reasoning and analytical problem
solving with a molecular perspective. Students will gain an understanding of;
Molecular geometries, physical and chemical properties of the molecules.
Current bonding models for simple inorganic and organic molecules in order to
predict structures and important bonding parameters.
This course gives a broader theoretical picture in multiple stages in an overall
chemical reaction.
It describes reactive intermediates, transition states and states of all the bonds broken
and formed.
It enables to understand the reactants, catalyst, stereochemistry and major and minor
products of any organic reaction. It describes the types of reactions and the kinetic and
thermodynamic aspects one should know for carrying out any reaction and the ways
how the reaction mechanism can be determined. ∙
The chapter stereochemistry gives the clear picture of two-dimensional and three-
dimensional structure of the molecules, and their role in reaction mechanism. The
course will also strengthen the knowledge of students regarding complete picture of
states of matter that includes gaseous, liquid, solid and colloidal states.
