CHEMISTRY FOR JEE

    This post will give a brief overview on how to prepare for jee
      chemistry and the books mentioned should be used in a                         sequential order. 

      Jee mains: The only book required is class 11 and class
      12 ncert books. One must be thorough with these 2 books and
      concentrate on chapters like environmental chemistry, polymers
      and everyday life chemistry. This will assure you of a mark of                 more than 100 in chemistry.

     Jee Advanced: This exam requires a more comprehensive 
     knowledge and deep understanding of the subject. Always 
     remember to keep the syllabus next to you while studying
     chemistry and stick to it.

   1. Physical chemistry: Recent trends in jee show that conceptual
       and graph based questions are getting increasing weightage.
       For eg. the solid state question in paper 2 and the surface
       chemistry question in paper 2 ( both in 2016).

       Recommended books:

      1. Ncert ( class 11 and 12)
      2. Course material from institutes
      3. Physical chemistry by P.Bahadur
      4. Physical chemistry by Atkins ( the kinetics question in                             2016 was directly taken from this book).
      5. Problem solving from Awasthi and Jaiswal. 
      6. Notes from my blog(of course)

   This is a general list and needs to be modified based on a 
   student's needs and dreams.

   2. Organic Chemistry:  This generally turns out to be the easiest
       section in the paper. However the organic part in the 2016
       paper turned to be much tougher than expected. So one can
       expect a similar level in the future.


      Recommended Books:

    1. Ncert ( class 11 and 12)
    2. Course material from institutes.
    3. Organic chemistry by clayden 
    4. Organic chemistry by Jerry March

    In the past questions have been directly asked from books 3
    and 4 in the above list. I will be including most of the important 
    points from these books so a quick glance should be enough.

    Most of the popular practice books have many irrelevant 
    questions and one need not attempt such questions.

    Isomerism seems to be difficult for most students and requires
    both theory as well as practice.( concentrate on this). Further,
    do not neglect practical organic chemistry.


  3. Inorganic Chemistry:  The most feared part of chemistry and
      the reason most hate the subject. There is no sugarcoating 
      the fact that one has to memorize a lot. However, i hope to 
      remove your fear or at least help you to score well.

      Firstly, the ncert textbooks are the holy books for inorganic
      chemistry. Most teachers and institutes teach much beyond
      the required level. If one analyses the 2016 paper, more than
      80% of the inorganic part can be solved by reading ncert.

      Hence, one must be thorough with all the trends and reactions
      in the ncert books.

      Other Recommended books:

     1. Inorganic Chemistry by JD Lee.
     2. Puri and Sharma ( only for coordination compounds)
     3. Chemical Bonding by Disha Publications.
     4. Salt Analysis by Vogel
     5. This blog( My chemistry professor gave extensive notes
          for inorganic chemistry which i will be posting here)

     PS: I scored 90% in iit jee inorganic chemistry.


     Thank you all for reading this long post. Always remember
     ' CHEMISTRY IS EASY'.
