UP Board Class 11 Chemistry – Organic Chemistry: Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Organic Chemistry: Some Basic Principles and Techniques is a foundational chapter in UP Board Class 11 Chemistry that introduces students to the structure, behavior, and classification of organic compounds. This chapter explains key concepts such as tetravalency of carbon, hybridization, and the unique ability of carbon to form long chains and rings. Students learn about important terms like homologous series, functional groups, and nomenclature using IUPAC rules, helping them write and identify organic compounds correctly.
The chapter also covers essential reaction types, including substitution, addition, and elimination reactions, along with electron displacement effects such as inductive effect, resonance, and hyperconjugation. Additionally, it introduces laboratory techniques like purification, crystallization, distillation, and chromatography, which are necessary for handling organic substances. By mastering these principles, students build a strong foundation for advanced organic chemistry topics in Class 12 and competitive exams like JEE and NEET.
