B.Sc Chemistry program is three year duration course at WBSU. It is year wise course. Here I am providing you syllabus of this program.

Syllabus of B.Sc Chemistry program

CEMAT 11-IA

Unit-I Radioactivity and Atomic Structure

Nuclear stability and nuclear binding energy. Nuclear forces: meson exchange theory. Nuclear models (elementary idea): Concept of nuclear quantum number, magic numbers. Nuclear Reactions: Artificial radioactivity, transmutation of elements, fission, fusion and spallation. Nuclear energy and power generation. Separation and uses of isotopes in tracer techniques. Radio chemical methods: principles of determination of age of rocks and minerals, age of earth, radio carbon dating, hazards of radiation and safety measures.

Bohr's theory to hydrogen-like atoms and ions; spectrum of hydrogen atom Sommerfeld’s theory (no derivation) Quantum numbers Introduction to the concept of atomic orbitals; shapes, radial and angular probability diagrams of s, p and d orbitals (qualitative idea) Many electron atoms and ions: Pauli's exclusion principle, Hund's rule, exchange energy, Aufbau principle and its limitation. Electronic energy level diagram and electronic configurations of hydrogen-like and polyelectronic atoms and ions Term symbols of atoms and ions for atomic numbers < 30.

Unit-II. Chemical periodicity I

Periodic table, group trends and periodic trends in physical properties Classification of elements on the basis of electronic configuration Modern IUPAC Periodic table General characteristic of s, p, d and f block elements Position of hydrogen and noble gases in the periodic table

Effective nuclear charges, screening effects, Slater's rules, atomic radii, ionic radii (Pauling's univalent), covalent radii. Ionization potential, electron affinity and electronegativity (Pauling's and Allred-Rochow's scales) and factors influencing these properties Inert pair effect. Group trends and periodic trends in these properties in respect of s-, p- and d-block elements Catenation property and its controlling factors

Unit-III Acid-Base reactions

Acid-Base concept: Arrhenius concept, theory of solvent system (in H2O, NH3, SO2 and HF), Bronsted-Lowry's concept, relative strength of acids, Pauling rules. Amphoterism. Lux-Flood concept, Lewis concept Superacids, HSAB principle Acid-base equilibria in aqueous solution and pH Acid-base neutralisation curves; indicator, choice of indicators Buffer solution, composition, buffer capacity
