UP Board Class 11 Chemistry – Organic Chemistry: Some Basic Principles and Techniques
The chapter Organic Chemistry: Some Basic Principles and Techniques introduces students to the fundamentals of organic chemistry, the branch of science that studies carbon-containing compounds. It explains why carbon forms such a large variety of compounds due to catenation, tetravalency, and bonding characteristics.
Students learn important concepts such as classification of organic compounds, homologous series, functional groups, and IUPAC nomenclature, which help in identifying and naming organic molecules correctly. The chapter also covers types of organic reactions, including substitution, addition, elimination, and rearrangement.
A significant part of this chapter deals with electronic effects like inductive effect, resonance effect, hyperconjugation, and electromeric effect, which influence the reactivity of organic molecules. Students also study purification techniques such as distillation, crystallization, chromatography, and sublimation, essential for laboratory work.
