SUMMARY

This discussion centers on strategies for studying inorganic chemistry, highlighting the challenges of memorizing extensive information, including reactions and periodic trends. A recommended resource is Nitin Jain's book, "The Secret of My Success," which emphasizes mastering periodic properties to facilitate understanding of s, p, d, and f block elements. Additionally, creating a dedicated notebook for reactions is advised. For a concise overview of chemistry, the FIITJEE Grand Masters Package is suggested, summarizing key concepts and problems in approximately 200 pages.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of periodic trends in chemistry
  • Familiarity with s, p, d, and f block elements
  • Basic knowledge of chemical reactions and their classifications
  • Ability to organize study materials effectively
NEXT STEPS
  • Study periodic properties in depth to build a foundation for inorganic chemistry
  • Compile a comprehensive notebook of inorganic reactions for quick reference
  • Explore Nitin Jain's "The Secret of My Success" for structured study techniques
  • Review the FIITJEE Grand Masters Package for a condensed overview of chemistry
USEFUL FOR

Students struggling with inorganic chemistry, particularly those preparing for competitive exams like the Physics Olympiad, as well as educators seeking effective study strategies for their students.

I am having a difficult time with this subject. There are so many things to rote memorize here and that's way too difficult for me to rote learn the things. There are loads of reactions, so many reactions for each group, different types of periodic trends, how one can learn or rather, rote memorize so much of stuff. I need some guidance on how should i go on studying this subject. It would be of great help if someone could provide me to organize this huge amount of information in this subject.

Thanks!

which book you are doing in inorganic. I also don't like it but Nitin Jains book ''The Secret of my Success'' give me a planing to study it. the major points from book that 1. study Priodic Property a lot if you master it one chapter then four chapters - s,p,d,f block elements, will automaticlly followed. 2. list of reactions in one notebook.

There is limited type of problems and reactions in inorganic. I am studying for Physics olympiad so I don't study it more. I recommend you something give a look at FIITJEE Grand Masters Package Chemistry whole Chemistry is summarised in about 200 pages with a lot of Problems.(if any of your friend have this then Xerox it,because it is not for sell)
 
Anyone?
