Potassium permanganate, Potassium dichromate

Aluminium

Tin and Lead

Iron

Zinc
Silver

Preparation and properties of the following compounds: Oxides, peroxides, hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates, chlorides and sulphates of sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium;

Aluminium: alumina, aluminium chloride and alums;

Syllabus

Transition elements (3d series): Definition, general characteristics, oxidation states and their stabilities, colour (excluding the details of electronic transitions) and calculation of spin-only magnetic moment; Coordination compounds: nomenclature of mononuclear coordination compounds, cis-trans and ionisation isomerisms, hybridization and geometries of mononuclear coordination compounds (linear, tetrahedral, square planar and octahedral).

Chapter 17 Ores/Minerals and Extractive Metallurgy

1. Iron and tin
2. Copper and Lead
3. Magnesium and Aluminium

Syllabus

Ores and minerals: Commonly occurring ores and minerals of iron, copper, tin, lead, magnesium, aluminium, zinc and silver.
Extractive metallurgy: Chemical principles and reactions only (industrial details excluded); Carbon reduction method (iron and tin); Self reduction method (copper and lead); Electrolytic reduction method (magnesium and aluminium); Cyanide process (silver and gold).

Syllabus

Principles of qualitative analysis: Groups I to V (only Ag+, Hg2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, Bi3+, Fe3+, Cr3+, Al3+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Zn2+, Mn2+ and Mg2+); Nitrate, halides (excluding fluoride), sulphate, sulphide and sulphite.



As I am aware of the various concepts discussed in these lessons, I can study more detailed materials about them in various books. Atomic structure seems to very important topic to understand thoroughly as the concepts of that topic are used subsequently in various lessons. Remembering x class inorganic chemistry portion is very important, as you will feel very comfortable learning only the incremental material on these topics if you remember the old material already.
