Inorganic Chemistry JEE

Inorganic Chemistry has seen 100 questions in the past 11 years. It can be a scoring unit if NCERT is properly covered. Basic trends and patterns become very important to score well in this chapter. Chemical Bonding is the heavy weight chapter which has a huge weightage of 30% in the whole unit. The other important chapters are P-Block and Transition Elements and Coordination Chemistry. Periodic Table is the basic chapter that must be covered without fail and different parts of the periodic table are further studied in detail in each chapter. Chemical Bonding gives insight into a lot of reactions. However, some facts are empirical and thus needs to be just memorized without a solid reasoning. The various blocks constitute of preparation, properties and structures. This will require good revision tactics. It is important to not spend too much time on topics with low weightage because that time can be allotted to practicing other chapters.
