How do I retain Inorganic Chemistry?

Spaced repetition. Reading NCERT once and hoping it sticks does not work — the volume of specific facts (reactions, colours, trends) is too high. On JEETutorAI, the SM-2 wrong-question queue schedules review of every miss at 1, 3, 7, 21 and 45 days. For proactive retention, revisit NCERT chapters on a rolling weekly rhythm: Bonding Monday, Coordination Wednesday, p-Block Friday.

Is NCERT enough for JEE Inorganic Chemistry?

For Inorganic, NCERT is not just enough — it's the single most important source. A significant fraction of JEE Main Inorganic questions is traceable to an NCERT line. Read every chapter closely; underline every named reaction, every colour, every structural detail. NCERT depth in Inorganic pays more than any coaching module.

Which Inorganic Chemistry chapters have the highest weightage?

Chemical Bonding is the largest — 3–4 questions every JEE Main. Coordination Compounds is next with 2 questions. p-Block Elements has the most direct-recall questions (3–4). d- and f-Block, Metallurgy and Qualitative Analysis each contribute 1–2. Master these six and you cover almost every Inorganic mark.
