orbital diagram of benzene. Homo and Antiaromaticity, Aromaticity of non-benzenoid compounds like pyrrole,
thiophene, furan and aromatic ions (3, 5 and 7-membered rings).

substitution: role of activating and deactivating groups, orientation of benzene. Mechanisms of Gattermann,
Huben-Hoesch, Veils-Meir Haack and Riemer-Tieman reactions.

capacities at constant volume and constant pressure and their relationship. Calculation of U &H for the
expansion of ideal gases under isothermal and adiabatic conditions.
The second law of thermodynamics: Need for the law, and different statements of the law. Carnot cycle and its
efficiency, Carnot theorem. The thermodynamic scale of temperature.
Concept of entropy, entropy as a function of V&T, and as a function of P&T. Clausius inequality; entropy as
criteria for spontaneity and equilibrium. Gibbs function (G) and Helmholtz function (A) as thermodynamic
quantities, G &A as criteria for thermodynamic equilibrium and spontaneity.
Third law of thermodynamics: Nernst heat theorem, third law of thermodynamics, concept of residual entropy.
