Chemistry
Chemistry is not just for exams
or academics; it plays a crucial role in daily life, industries, healthcare, and technology. Here’s how the topics you study in Class 11 Chemistry are useful beyond school:
- Chemical Reactions are involved in cooking, digestion, rusting, and cleaning.
- pH concepts help in choosing the right soaps, shampoos, and fertilizers.
- Thermodynamics & Energy explain why some foods cook faster and how refrigerators work.
