Newest 2026-2027 Pradeep's Class 10 Science: Chemistry
(Part 2) by S.C. Kheterpal & S.N. Dhawan Guide to Ace
Your Exams All Graded A+
Core Chapters Covered
While editions can vary slightly, Part 2 typically focuses on these heavy-hitting units:
1. Carbon and its Compounds
This is the "big" one. It transitions you from basic chemistry into Organic Chemistry.
Bonding: Covalent bonding and the versatile nature of carbon (catenation and tetravalency).
Homologous Series: Understanding alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
Nomenclature: Naming compounds using IUPAC rules.
Functional Groups: Alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids.
Key Reactions: Combustion, oxidation, addition, and substitution.
Ethanol & Ethanoic Acid: Their properties, uses, and chemical tests.
Soaps & Detergents: The structure of a micelle and the cleansing action of soap.
2. Periodic Classification of Elements
Early Attempts: Dobereiner’s Triads, Newlands’ Law of Octaves, and Mendeleev’s Periodic
Table.
Modern Periodic Table: The logic behind the arrangement based on atomic number ($Z$).
, Periodic Trends: Detailed explanations of how atomic size, valency, metallic character, and
electron
