JEE Main Chemistry is a vital subject that evaluates a candidate’s understanding of chemical principles, reactions, and problem-solving skills. It is divided into three sections: Physical Chemistry, which focuses on concepts like thermodynamics, equilibrium, and kinetics; Inorganic Chemistry, covering topics such as the periodic table, chemical bonding, and coordination compounds; and Organic Chemistry, which includes reaction mechanisms, hydrocarbons, and biomolecules. A strong grasp of theoretical concepts, combined with application-based problem-solving, is essential to score well in Chemistry. Systematic preparation and practice can help aspirants master this subject efficiently.
