Which chapter is most important for NEET Chemistry?

The chemistry section of NEET is considered to be the scoring section. Even though students must be well versed with all chapters of the NEET Chemistry syllabus to perform exceedingly well at NEET, there are some chapters in the syllabus that are most important and must be prioritized. A careful analysis of the previous years’ trends indicates that the questions from the following chapters are said to have appeared the most. These numbers are subject to change every year. Take a look at the most important chapters of NEET Chemistry so far –

• Hydrocarbons
• Equilibrium
• Coordination compounds
• p-block elements
• Solutions
• Organic chemistry – Some basic principles and techniques
• D and f block elements
• Chemical bonding & molecular structure
• Electrochemistry
• Aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids

In addition, to the above-mentioned chapters, candidates are also required to thoroughly learn and comprehend other chapters covered in the NEET Syllabus to be able to answer any question asked in NEET.
