How do toppers prepare for inorganic chemistry for IIT? Is NCERT sufficient and how can i remember all facts easily

Simple and Easy Ways to Study Inorganic Chemistry-

Understanding Periodic Table

Periodic Table is the base of Inorganic Chemistry. One should devise interesting and fruitful ways to study the position and properties of the elements. Creating a flow chart or a concept map to know the trends in properties is the best way to understand this topic. This will make Periodic Table interesting and fit in your mind.

Bear in mind, once you'll get thorough the understanding of Periodic Table, studying the behavior of elements in groups and periods will become simple.


Studying Metallurgy

This is another important topic from Inorganic Chemistry. Aspirants must devise the best approach to study and understand this topic. First of all, try to understand all metallurgical operations and their applications. And once this is done, study for the individual elements.

Bear in mind, don't memorize or mug up this topic else you won't understand anything. You should create a flow chart and follow it properly for better understanding of this chapter.

Learn Chemical reactions

This is one of the scoring topics and the best way to learn this topic is to understand the context in which these reactions are written. You should try to make a practice of translating a word equation into chemical equations in terms of chemical formulas. Also, always balance your reactions and write and practice the formula "? it is one of the best tips for understanding and memorizing formulas.


Read Coordination Compounds

This is a relatively analytical and interesting topic. It needs apt problem solving practice. This topic comprises of scoring sub-topic like Isomerism. The best way to get in-depth understanding of this topic is through practice.

Understand Analytical Chemistry

This is the final and relatively simple topic of Inorganic Chemistry. Majority of this topic is done in lab which gives practical knowledge to students. Therefore, it can be learnt easily.

Yes, you should go for NCERT book for your preparation first then you can go recommended books which are mentioned above the description.
