NIOS Class 12 Chemistry — Flashcards for Quick Revision

Practice flashcards for NIOS Class 12 Chemistry. Quick question-and-answer cards for every chapter to boost memory and revision speed.

Quick Summary

Chapter-wise flashcards for NIOS Class 12 Chemistry. Each card has a question on the front and answer on the back — perfect for quick daily revision using active recall.

How to Use Flashcards

  1. Read the question — try to answer it in your head before flipping.
  2. Check the answer — compare your answer. Mark cards you got wrong for repeat review.
  3. Spaced repetition — review difficult cards more often. Easy cards can be spaced out.
  4. 10–15 minutes daily — short, consistent sessions are more effective than marathon cramming.

Atomic Structure

30 cards

Q: What are the three fundamental particles of an atom and their relative charges?

A: The three fundamental particles are: 1. Electron (e⁻) - Negative charge (-1) 2. Proton (p⁺) - Positive charge (+1) 3. Neutron (n⁰) - Neutral charge (0) Electrons are approximately 1/1840th the mass o

Q: Define atomic number (Z) and mass number (A). How are they related to neutrons?

A: Atomic Number (Z) = Number of protons in the nucleus = Number of electrons in a neutral atom Mass Number (A) = Total number of protons + neutrons Number of Neutrons = A - Z Example: Oxygen-17 has Z

Q: Calculate the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in ₈O¹⁷

A: For ₈O¹⁷: Step 1: Identify atomic number (Z) = 8 - Number of protons = 8 - Number of electrons = 8 (in neutral atom) Step 2: Identify mass number (A) = 17 Step 3: Calculate neutrons - Number of neu

Periodic Table and Periodicity in Properties

30 cards

Q: What is Dobereiner's Law of Triads? Provide an example.

A: Dobereiner's Law of Triads (1817) states that when three closely related elements are grouped together, the atomic weight of the middle element is approximately the arithmetical mean of the other two.

Q: State Newlands' Law of Octaves and explain why it failed.

A: Newlands' Law of Octaves (1863): When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic weight, every eighth element has similar properties, like musical notes repeating in octaves. WHY IT FAILED: T

Q: What was Mendeleev's greatest contribution to the periodic table?

A: Mendeleev's greatest contribution (1869) was: (1) Arranging elements by INCREASING ATOMIC WEIGHT and demonstrating periodic recurrence of properties. (2) LEAVING GAPS for undiscovered elements (Sc, Ga

Chemical Bonding

35 cards

Q: What are valence electrons and why are they important in chemical bonding?

A: Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell (valence shell) of an atom. They are crucial because: (1) They determine the combining capacity or valency of an atom, (2) They participate direc

Q: Define a chemical bond and explain how it forms in terms of energy changes.

A: A chemical bond is an attractive force that holds atoms together in a molecule. Definition: When two atoms approach each other, the energy of the combined system becomes less than the sum of energies

Q: Explain Kossel's theory of ionic bond formation using the NaCl example.

A: Kossel's Theory: Atoms achieve stable noble gas configuration by losing or gaining electrons. For NaCl formation: Na (2,8,1) loses 1 electron → Na⁺ (2,8 - like Ne). Cl (2,8,7) gains 1 electron → Cl⁻ (
