Hi dear,





Chemistry is divided into three parts  Organic, Inorganic and Physical.



1. Organic Chemistry



A sure shot scoring area as the concepts revolve around specific rules. Hence it is necessary to study these rules and exceptions for certain reactions.



Chapters likeAlcohols, Phenols and EthersandAldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids(Unit 11 and 12) are the most important and have a higher weightage of questions. Fundamental reactions likeNucleophilic substitution/addition, Electrophilic substitution/additionand named reactions likeWilliamson, Wolff-Kishner, Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky, Clemmenson Reductionare important and 5 mark questions can be asked directly to explain each of the processes and questions like stepwise conversion from one compound to another are definitely expected every year.



Another part where stress should be given is the IUPAC namingof compounds and the use of different reagents to test the presence of compounds (like Tollens, Baeyers) will easily fetch you the short answer type questions allotted 1/2 marks.







2. Inorganic Chemistry



Without a doubt, the NCERT material provided in Inorganic Chemistry for class 12 is the primer in the field. It is important to read through the entire chapters of Inorganic Chemistry as the student is tested on his/her memory of certain reactions. Most of these questions are direct and Units 6 to 9 are the most important. This section will be taught after Physical Chemistry but it is always advisable to start preparing these topicsin advance.



Coordination Compounds and p-Block elements(8+ Marks with a sure 5 Mark question expected from this chapter) are the most important chapters in Inorganic Chemistry. There is a soft spot for Noble gases and Halogens as there always are some questions asked from these topics in the exam. Develop a Reaction Book, a book listing ALL the reactions when you are preparing. This book should be gone through at least once a week and will prove to be very useful during the revision time at the end.



3. Physical Chemistry



One should be very thorough with their formulae and should be able to apply in any way modified. The only way to get a good sense over this would be to practise more and more problems.



Chapters like Surface Chemistry,Solutions,Electrochemistry and Chemical Kinetics come under this category and there is no exception as to which are important.



Also, solve the past papers and write them as an exam during the final revision time so as to improve your answering speed and this will also give an idea of time management as the paper might get lengthy at times. Good for exam simulation.



All the best for your journey!

Hello.

11th and 12th Chemistry is divided into 3 parts

Organic Chem. :

If you're preparing for CBSE

Arihant has beautifully explained concepts and enough questions for practice

If you are preparing for JEE

OP Tandon (has both theory and numericals)

Himanshu Pandey or MS Chauhan (for numericals)

Inorganic Chem. :

NCERT is more than enough for both CBSE and JEE

Physical Chem. :

For theory and concepts : Pradeep (is expensive so prefer 2nd hand) (also has enough numericals for CBSE

For numericals of JEE level :

RC Mukherjee or P Bahadur.

You can even learn from BYJUS or on YouTube.

Hope this is helpful.

Good luck.
