CHEMISTRY

Subject Code: 043


Classes XI-XII (2025-26)

Rationale
The second phase of Secondary stage is the most crucial stage of school
education because at this juncture specialized discipline based, content -
oriented courses are introduced. Students reach this stage after 10 years of
general education and opt for Chemistry with a purpose of pursuing their career
in basic sciences or professional courses like medicine, engineering, technology
and study courses in applied areas of science and technology at tertiary level.
Therefore, there is a need to provide the learners with a sufficient conceptual
background of Chemistry, which will make them competent to meet the
challenges of academic and professional courses after this stage.

The new and updated curriculum is based on a disciplinary approach with rigor
and depth taking care that the syllabus is not heavy and at the same time it is
comparable to that at the international level. The pedagogy of Chemistry has
undergone tremendous changes in recent times. Many new areas like green
chemistry, material science, biomolecules, and industrial chemistry deserve to
be an integral part of the chemistry syllabus at this stage. Globally,
nomenclature of elements and compounds, symbols and units of physical
quantities recommended by scientific bodies like IUPAC and CGPM are of
immense importance and also need to be incorporated in the updated syllabus.
The proposed syllabus adequately addresses these issues.

Objectives
The curriculum of Chemistry at the second phase of Secondary stage has been
designed to:
● equip the learners with tools to understand the working of Chemistry rather
than mere facts of it;
● develop the necessary conceptual foundations of chemistry and ability to
apply them to real life situations;
● enable the learners to represent chemical phenomena at macroscopic,
molecular, and symbolic levels;
● make the learners identify patterns and form connections that underlie various
chemical phenomena;
● prepare the learners to contribute to frontier research areas related to climate
change, environmental issues, materials science, biology and medicine etc.:
● inculcate problem solving skills in the learners and integrate life skills and
values in the context of chemistry; and
● apprise learners of the interface of chemistry with other disciplines of science
such as physics, biology, geology, engineering etc.
