Report

 

The IISU Chemical Association of IIS (deemed to be university), Jaipur, celebrated International Year of Periodic Table (IYPT) 2019 - “Know your Elements” on the 4-5 October 2019 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of Mendeleev`s Periodic Table of Elements, one of the most significant and influential achievements of Science.

 

As part of the celebrations, a Chemistry Olympiad based on the Periodic Table for the Undergraduate and Postgraduate students of Science in different educational institutions of Rajasthan was organised on 21st September in the first phase. More than 1500 students actively took the Olympiad Quiz.  The top scorers from each institution were awarded on Oct 4 2019 in the inaugural ceremony of IYPT 2019.

 

The event was spread over two days, 4th and 5th October.

 

Day 1

The demo cum guest lecture began with an invocation to Lordess Saraswati succeeded by lamp lightning by our distinguished guests. The lecture was delivered by Prof. Uday Maitra Professor, Indian Institution of Science, Bangalore.

Further, the opening and welcome regards were given by Dr. Ashok Gupta. He told about the importance of periodic table in our daily life. Prof. R K Bansal briefed about the events going to be held and also he also introduced  Prof. Uday Maitra.

The winners of Chemistry Olympiad from each institution were awarded by Dr. Ashok Gupta and Prof. Uday Maitra. Around 57 students (first, second and third position holders from each institutions) from 19 institutions were awarded.  The Science magazine, Science Spectrum was released by Dr. Ashok Gupta, Dr. Rakhi Gupta, Prof. Uday Maitra, Dr. Manisha Patni and Dr. Sreemoyee Chatterjee.

In the lecture  Prof. Uday Maitra highlighted the various ways to represent a periodic table and performed various magical tricks with chemicals, like reaction of thiocyanate and cyanate with ferric chloride. He discussed the chemistry in human body, animals, mobile phones etc. He performed some experiments like the elephant toothpaste, nucleophilic substitution reaction, photo-luminescence and chemi-luminescence. He also interacted with the students during his lecture and informed the history behind the names of chemical elements. He also motivated students to never give up. At the end he entertained the students by playing a periodic table song.

A vote of thanks was given by Dr. Pragya Sinha, Head, Department of Chemistry.

The inaugural ceremony was followed by inter collegiate competitions for the UG and PG students of science from different studentsAll the activities were based on the periodic table. These three activities were organised on day one.

 

  • SKIT
  • Creations: 3D Models of periodic table
  • Poster competition

 

SKIT COMPETITION

Day 2

The Morning session started with an inspiring lecture by Prof. R K Bansal. He shared some interesting facts about periodic table. He described the discovery of phosphorus and talked about Madam curie, who was given noble prize for the discovery of radium. He made the students aware about the extinction of different elements on earth. He showed ‘periodic table’s new version that warns about the elements which are endangered.

He discussed the different properties, special traits and uses of some elements like lithium, yttrium, gallium, oxygen, hydrogen, aluminium, calcium, tin, tungsten, and osmium etc.

Two events Quiz and JAM were organized on second day.

Quiz

Topic- Periodic Table

Total teams participated- 18

Dr Raakhi Gupta briefed about the competition and rules of this quiz followed by an elimination round between 18 teams registered for the quiz competition. Seven teams were selected for the quiz after elimination round. The quiz was divided in different rounds. Quiz masters for different rounds were Dr. Raakhi Gupta, Dr. Manisha Patni and Dr. Varsha Goyal.

The competition was further accompanied with different rounds.

Audience also participated in audience round.

The winners were awarded and certificate were given to them by Dr. Ashok Gupta (Vice chancellor of IIS Deemed to be University) and Dr. Raakhi Gupta (Registrar of IIS Deemed to be University)

Date- 18th to 21st September 2019

Venue: Ojas Hall

Speaker- Prof. S.D. Samant, ICT Mumbai

 

Department of Chemistry, IIS (deemed to be University), Jaipur has organized a series of guest lecture on “Organic Reactions and Related Mechanisms” from 18th to 21st September, 2019 by Prof. S. D. Samant, Honorary Professor, ICT Mumbai.

The first day was an interesting session based on the common misconceptions prevalent in the organic chemistry and the correct learning approach to get an overview of the same. A vivid presentation on the step wise mechanisms was the highlight of the day. On the second day, different name reactions were reviewed under the umbrella of the same underlying mechanistic principles. The students were apprised with the idea of conceptualizing the reactions based on their mechanisms instead of their individual reactants. On the last day, major selectivity controls, kinetics and thermodynamics of various reactions were imperatively discussed. The possibilities of side reactions were explored and a reversible dynamic system of reactions was investigated.

The lecture ended with a warm vote of thanks by Prof. R.K. Bansal, Emeritus Professor, Department of Chemistry, IIS (deemed to be) University. It was greatly recepted by the students of PG, Research scholars and Faculty members.
