NCERT Notes for Class 12 Chemistry: Points to Remember

You can refer to some important points of NCERT Grade 12 Chemistry below:

• A solid is a form of matter with a definite shape and volume.

• If intermolecular forces > thermal energy, the substance exists as a solid

• Classification of solids: crystalline (regular arrangement of particles, anisotropy), amorphous (uneven arrangement, isotropic).

• Classification of crystalline solids: ionic, molecular, covalent/lattice, metallic.

• A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more chemically inactive substances whose composition can vary within certain limits.

• Anode: In an electrochemical battery, the anode is the electrode where oxidation takes place. This is the negative terminal.

• Kinetic chemistry is a branch of chemistry concerned with the study of reaction rates and their mechanisms.

• The p-block elements include elements of group 13−18 whose ns2np1−6 is the valence shell electron configuration where n = 2−6.

• The common oxidation state of lanthanoids and actinoids is +3.

• Coordination compounds: These adder compounds retain their original form in the solid state and in solution. In these compounds, the central atom is bonded to several groups by coordinate bonds.
