Upcoming RBSE Class 12th Chemistry Curriculum for 2025-26; Grab Your Free PDF Format Here
The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) has updated the syllabus for Class 12 Chemistry, effectively for the academic year 2025-26. The new syllabus closely follows the NCERT pattern, ensuring a comprehensive coverage of physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry topics.
The updated syllabus is divided into ten main units, each focusing on a specific area of chemistry. The units are as follows:
1. Solutions 2. Electrochemistry 3. Chemical Kinetics 4. d- and f-Block Elements 5. Coordination Compounds 6. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 7. Alcohols, Phenols, and Ethers 8. Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carboxylic Acids 9. Organic Compounds containing Nitrogen 10. Biomolecules
These units are further categorised into three broad sections: Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. The total exam marks for Chemistry are 70.
The syllabus is structured as follows:
| Unit Number | Unit Name | Stream/Part | Weightage (Marks) | |-------------|----------------------------------|---------------------|------------------| | 1 | Solutions | Physical Chemistry | Part of 25 marks | | 2 | Electrochemistry | Physical Chemistry | Part of 25 marks | | 3 | Chemical Kinetics | Physical Chemistry | Part of 25 marks | | 4 | d- and f-Block Elements | Inorganic Chemistry | Part of 25 marks | | 5 | Coordination Compounds | Inorganic Chemistry | Part of 25 marks | | 6 | Haloalkanes and Haloarenes | Organic Chemistry | Part of 31 marks | | 7 | Alcohols, Phenols, and Ethers | Organic Chemistry | Part of 31 marks | | 8 | Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carboxylic Acids | Organic Chemistry | Part of 31 marks | | 9 | Organic Compounds containing Nitrogen | Organic Chemistry | Part of 31 marks | | 10 | Biomolecules | Organic Chemistry | Part of 31 marks | | **Total** | | | **70 Marks** |
The RBSE board will rigorously follow the entire syllabus for the 2025-26 academic year, emphasising the importance of studying the full curriculum for the board exams.
The updated syllabus also includes the study of various reactions, such as the effect of variation in cell potential of the cell Zn l Zn2⃦Cu2+ l Cu with change in concentration of electrolytes CuSO4/ZnSO4 at room temperature, the enthalpy change in the dissolution of copper sulphate and potassium nitrate, the enthalpy change in the neutralisation of strong acid HCl by strong base NaOH, and the study of the rate of reaction between potassium iodate (KIO3) and Sodium Sulphite (Na2SO3).
Additionally, the syllabus covers the nomenclature, structure, preparation, physical and chemical properties, and uses of Carboxylic Acids, Aldehydes, Ketones, Phenols, Alcohols, Haloalkanes, Haloarenes, and Amines. It also includes topics like Biomolecules, including Carbohydrates, Proteins, Vitamins, and Nucleic Acids, Coordination Compounds, and Practical topics like Titrimetric Analysis, Qualitative Analysis, Tests for Functional Groups present in Organic Compounds, Preparation of Organic and Inorganic Compounds, Tests for Carbohydrates, Fats, and Protein, Content-Based Experiment, Practical record book, and Viva-voce.
The updated syllabus reflects a focus on maintaining a flexible and pertinent educational framework, particularly in the revised Chemistry syllabus. Students are encouraged to thoroughly study the syllabus to prepare for the board exams effectively. For more detailed chapter lists and solutions, it is recommended to visit the official RBSE website.
In the revised Chemistry syllabus for Class 12, students will delve into various topics under science, education-and-self-development, and learning such as Solutions, Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics, d- and f-Block Elements, Coordination Compounds, Haloalkanes and Haloarenes, Alcohols, Phenols, and Ethers, Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carboxylic Acids, Organic Compounds containing Nitrogen, and Biomolecules. To excel in the board exams, it is essential for students to rigorously study the entire syllabus, which includes the study of reactions like the effect of variation in cell potential, the enthalpy change in the dissolution of copper sulphate, and the rate of reaction between potassium iodate and sodium sulphite, among others.
