Group A — Inorganic covers wave functions, hybridization, radial distribution functions, fission/fusion, ionization potential, electronegativity, zinc blende structure, VSEPR, HSAB, volumetric analysis, and the Born-Haber cycle. Group B — Organic covers free radical vs. electrophilic addition (peroxide effect), SN1 vs. SN2, intermolecular forces, potential energy diagrams, Newman projections of n-butane, R/S configuration, racemic mixtures vs. meso compounds, carbocation stability, boiling points, Zaitsev's rule, and propyne hydration. Group C — Physical covers Van der Waals equation with the RMS velocity calculation (≈ 779 m/s), Kirchhoff's equation, isothermal expansion (ΔU = ΔH = 0 for ideal gas), mean free path, surface tension by drop weight, crystal types, PCl₅ equilibrium (Kc ≈ 0.188 mol/L at 1L), buffer solutions (pH = pKa + log ratio), Raoult's law, half-life of 2nd order reactions, Arrhenius equation (T ≈ 316 K), and bond enthalpy calculation (ΔH = −125 kJ/mol).
