Inorganic chemistry is the branch of chemistry which deals with the chemical changes in most primitive manner. It is not mathematical in nature and deals in elemental form of nature. The Mendeleev’s Periodic Table becomes the basis of study as we divide the elements according to their groups and then study them. These groups are regrouped as s-block, p-block, d-block and f-block elements. In these p-block is not the bulkiest but also the most important part. The order of importance is followed by s-block elements. The chapter of Coordination Compounds is also important from the scoring point of view. The other chapters of Analytical Chemistry and Extraction of Elements also fetch few questions which are direct in nature.
In IIT JEE exam it is always a good idea to start with the questions of inorganic chemistry which are asked from the chapters p- block elements, s- block elements and classification of elements and periodicity in property.
Questions form these chapters are usually direct and based on direct application of concepts. You can answer these questions very quickly if you know the basic concepts.

Inorganic chemistry has at least 25-30% weight-age in the IIT JEE chemistry paper. However, if we talk about the effort to scoring ratio from IIT JEE perspective then it is the least in this case. A good student cannot afford to ignore this section. You can always refer to our revision notes section where you can download the revision notes of inorganic chemistry pdf. You can also refer to the inorganic chemistry lecture videos by our experts.
