Chemistry in Everyday life Class 12 Notes Chemistry Chapter 16 1. Chemicals play a very important role in improving the quality of human life. Many substances which are used in our daily life situations are chemical compounds. 2. Drugs are chemicals of low molecular masses (-100- 500 u). These interacts with macromolecular targets and produce…

Polymers Class 12 Notes Chemistry Chapter 15 1. A polymer is a large molecule of high molecular mass formed by the repetitive bonding of many small molecules called monomers. The process by which the monomers are transformed into polymers is called polymerisation. As polymers are single big size molecules, they are also called macromolecules. 2.…

Biomolecules Class 12 Notes Chemistry Chapter 14 1. Carbohydrates is a class of compounds that include polyhydric aldehydes and ketones and large number of other polymeric molecules that yield these on hydrolysis, e.g., sugars, glycogen, cellulose, starch, etc. 2. Depending upon their behaviour on hydrolysis, carbohydrates are further divided into three types: Monosaccharides (e.g., glucose,…

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes Class 12 Notes Chemistry Chapter 10 1. Haloalkanes are classified as fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo compounds according to the type of halogen present and as mono-, di- tri-, tetra- haloalkanes, etc., according to the one, two, three, four, etc., halogen atoms respectively present in their molecule. 2. Alkyl halides are further…

Coordination Compounds Class 12 Notes Chemistry Chapter 9 1. Coordination compounds contain a central atom (or cation) which is coordinated to a suitable number of anions or neutral molecules and usually retain their identity in solution as well as in solid state. These may be a positively charged, negatively charged or a neutral species, [Co(NH3)6]3+,…
