how many questions are coming frm inorganic chemistry in jee mains and what are the topics

Hello aspiriants ,

Weightage of inorganic chemistry is quite good , you shouldn't skip this part.

total number of question is 12 in inorganic chemistry.

And all the topics have equal weight but just go through s , p , d ,f block and also go through atomic radius , electron affinity , electronegativity , ionization and electrode potential. if you have less time for study.

hey,

here are the chapters of inorganic chemistry coming in JEE mains 2020

1, classification of elements and periodicity in properties

2. general principles and processes of isolation of metals

3. hydrogen

4. S- block elements (alkali and alkaline earth metals)

5. P block elements

6. D and F block elements

7. coordination compounds

8. environmental chemistry

for more detailed syllabus kindly go through the link and weightage

good luck!

Hi Sweety,

All the topics included in Inorganic Chemistry are equally important. Therefore, don’t skip any topic from this unit as it is one of the high scoring subjects. Since there are various compounds and you need to study their methods of preparation, uses, chemical reactions, etc. So, it is better to have a proper analysis of all the topics included in JEE Syllabus from Inorganic Chemistry so that while preparing you won’t get diverted from the syllabus.

Several conceptual questions are asked from s, p, d and f-block elements thus, instead of memorizing it’s important to understand it through visualization so that certain complex properties and compositions could be understood easily. You could understand the reactions very easily if you have a good knowledge of periodic table along with the trends in the properties of atoms like atomic radius, electron affinity, electronegativity, ionization and the electrode potential.

In JEE MAINS 2020, there will 8-9 questions will be from physical chemistry (6-7 single correct and 2 numerical type) and 8–9 questions from Inorganic Chemistry (6 -7 single correct and 2 numerical type). Thus the total number of questions from both the parts will be from 16 –18.

One can expect numerical problems from: Strength of hydrogen peroxide, hardness of water, dipole moment, magnetic moment (d block & coordination) & EAN value etc. in Inorganic chemistry.
