JEE Mains is the most important exam for an engineering aspirant. It forms the gateway into the top IIT’S and NIT’S.

    Chemistry is the most scoring subject between the 3 sections of the paper. Therefore to score maximum in chemistry some important tips are to be followed.

IMPORTANT BOOKS:

1. NCERT Text Book
2.   NCERT Exemplar.

IMPORTANT TOPICS:

            In chemistry some topics are evergreen. Questions from these topics are asked every year.

PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY:

• Stoichiometry, Solid State, Solutions, Thermodynamics, Gaseous State and Equilibrium are important topics
• Students should practice maximum numerical from these topics.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY:

• General organic chemistry, Alkenes, Benzene, Carbonyl Compounds, and Organic compounds with Nitrogen are important topics.
• Students must practice Reaction mechanism, reagents and name reactions regularly.
• Acidic and Basic strengths of Compounds are regularly asked.

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY:

• P block elements, metallurgy, d & f block elements Complex Compounds are very important topics.
• Students should make proper plan to read inorganic chemistry regularly.

Direct Questions from NCERT book is asked for the topics. Students must prepare these topics directly from the books.

• Polymers
• Bio molecules
• Surface Chemistry
• Environmental Chemistry
• Chemistry in Everyday life

MAKING NOTES:

• Making notes from NCERT book especially for Inorganic Chemistry is must.
• Read book word by word to make notes
• Practice the points regularly
• During revision it is highly useful

HOW TO PRACTICE:

• Make a fixed time table and study regularly.
• After preparing each topic from text book and notes practice large number of numericals especially in physical chemistry.
• Prepare charts of formulas in physical and reagents in organic chemistry and practice them regularly.
• At the end of each topic do not forget to practice questions asked in previous mains papers.
• This will improve your skills and develop your approach to handle a question.
• It also helps you to know the latest trend and complexity of a questions based on a given concept.
