Chemistry is the subject which is normally left out by JEE Aspirants in JEE Exam. The argument given is that the subject requires strong memorizing skills. However, if the topics in this subject are studied in the proper way and manner, one will understand that maximum of the principles on this subject are pretty intuitive, conceptual, and logical. All it takes is the proper knowledge of the fundamentals.
There are three units in which the JEE Main Chemistry Syllabus is divided:
- Physical Chemistry: This topic covers concepts and logics about ‘Atom' which is the fundamental unit of everything. Several other topics such as Chemical Kinetics, Thermodynamics, and Electrochemistry also contribute to be a part of Physical Chemistry.
- Organic Chemistry: The topic revolves around Carbon and its compounds. There are various mysteries found and yet to be found concerning carbon and the subject organic chemistry covers all of them. It revolves around the nature of carbon and its involvement in various procedures.
- Inorganic Chemistry: This involves elements other than Carbon and its compounds. This also involves reaction and the result of these reaction.
The questions asked in JEE Main Exam in Chemistry section require a balance of analytical, logical, and memorization skills. Besides, the questions asked from Physical Chemistry topic are purely analytical while questions asked from Inorganic Chemistry section are more biased towards memorization side. The questions asked from organic chemistry are made to form a balance between the rest of the two topics.
The JEE Main Chemistry Syllabus consists of around 25 to 30 chapters and each of these chapter is equally important from examination's point of view. Some of these are tough while some range from easy to moderate thus, maintaining the balance of difficulty level. Questions from some of the topics are frequently asked while some are not. JEE Main aspirants aiming to rank and perform well in jee main exam mustn't forget to aim for these chapters that might get them a good score. The list mentioned below gives a brief idea about some of the most scoring topics in JEE Main Chemistry Syllabus.
- Gaseous State: The chapter consists of concepts related to the famous and widely known gas equation i.e. PV=nRT. It also involves some of its variations. It can be implied that the questions asked from this topic are quite easy and can be solved with accuracy. All that students require is to be able to read the questions quickly and carefully in order to visualize the scenario. One of the most recommended books is Physical chemistry for Competitions by O. P. Tandon for exams JEE Main and JEE Advanced is. Students can study this chapter from this book.
- Chemical Kinetics: The chapter, in my view, is one of the easiest chapters one should study. Though the chapter is easy, yet it holds importance from exam's point of view. The chapter is important for the other two chapters namely Chemical Equilibrium and Electrochemistry.
- General Organic Chemistry: This is considered one of the scoring chapters as it is easy and there are several questions asked in JEE Main Exam from this chapter. The chapter is important as it is the basis of entire organic chemistry. Students preparing for JEE Main mustn't forget to prepare from the book named Organic Chemistry by L. G. Wade which is arguable one of the best books for General chemistry. The book covers all the fundamentals of General Organic Chemistry.
- Reactions of Benzene: One of the highly important and scoring chapters of Chemistry subject is Reactions of Benzene. The chapter is important primarily for JEE Advanced. The difficulty level of questions asked from this chapter ranges from moderate to difficult and students who have practiced enough and more than sufficient questions will be able to perform well by answering these questions in JEE Main Exam. There are some reactions of benzene that do not follow the regular pattern or mechanisms and thus are referred to as exceptions. Students must look out to these reactions because these questions are repeatedly asked in various entrance examinations. Students must also prepare from the book Organic Chemistry by L. G. Wade.
- Ores and Metallurgy: This chapter is totally based on concepts and the questions asked from this chapter in the exam are quite frequent. Thus, students who are aiming to get a higher rank in jee exam must understand the importance of this topic as it is an extremely important chapter from examination's point of view. It is advisable for students to carefully prepare and understand every concept of this chapter. They must read NCERT books thoroughly because many a times the questions in jee main exam are directly picked up from NCERT Books. If students want to study the advanced concepts of Ores and Metallurgy chapter must consider Concise Inorganic Chemistry written by J.D. Lee.
- Qualitative Analysis: This is one famous section amongst jee main aspirants as studying this topic requires memorization skills. This chapter would help students score well as the questions asked from this topic in jee main exam are straight forward and can be solved with tricks. Thus, these questions become easy to crack in less time. Students must study from Concise Inorganic Chemistry by J. D. Lee.
The complete concept of maximizing the marks and score in Chemistry is to make sure a stability among analytical and memorization skills. Students have to attempt to spend most time withinside the chapters that will assist them performing and scoring well.
One very essential component to attain good marks in Chemistry is to do regular revisions. As human beings, we're sure to neglect about matters if we don't see them often. It is very obvious for students to forget the chemical formulae mentioned in chapters, chemical reactions and chemical structures of numerous chemical elements. It is especially endorsed that students have to manipulate a pocketbook with them in which they hold a be aware of the matters that they generally tend to neglect about. This pocketbook has to then be used for periodic revision. This will ensure which you score excessive in JEE chemistry.
