Greetings Readers
First up in the revision series is Class 11 Chemistry -
Physical Chemistry - This part although quite conceptual and not involving much mugging up becomes a problem when you forget basic formulas and approach to solving the problems.Topics like Equilibrium and Thermodynamics(which are the main weighing topics of Class 11 Physical Chem) give you the most problems.I myself used to struggle with Keq and concentration problems in Equilibrium and Entropy,Work calculation in various processes etc. in Thermodynamics.But,you know you can solve these problems with quite a simple approach. Choose a topic,focus your mind and extract all you can from your class notes,solve the problems again which the teacher made you do.Do the questions again in which you had got doubt or were unable to solve(A very good concept for efficient revision in future is that mark all those questions with like a box or circle or red pen,that you felt were "achha questions" or good or tough or teaching some important concept).
If coaching modules are not sufficient,take up Narendra Awasthi Physical Chemistry book,solve the new problems.Generate doubts and go to your teacher and ask them.The best thing revision does it to make you generate new doubts and once you separately got o the teacher and clarify them,you will never forget that concept/question. Our teacher used to say,"Ye jo tum doubt puchh rahe ho na, ye hi aayega asli exam mein,baaki normal questions to sab solve kar lete hain" or "The doubts you are asking are quite probable to come in the real exam,as common questions can be solved by all".
Summary for Organic Chem : Teachers notes,coaching modules and practice more and more questions.Ask doubts freely and improve upon your concepts.
Organic Chemistry - One of the most interesting parts of Chemistry which can be made uninteresting if the way of teaching or learning is not conceptual,explanation giving rather plain,boring and mugging up type.As such there is not much of Organic Chem in Class 11 as compared to Class 12,but still basic concept chapters like IUPAC Nomenclature,POC,GOC and even Hydrocarbons are still there. GOC is like "ABCD" of Organic Chemistry and once you master that, you can even do some questions indirectly using its concepts.Anyways,for revising Organic Chemistry the best way is to read,understand from you teacher's notes the mechanism,the "why this is happening" part of all the reactions and other basic concepts.
Organic Chem is more about concept building rather than mugging up.People who mug up often fail in the final exam if the question is asked in a slightly different way,as those people remember the reaction like A + B gives C and not that what to react with A to give C as major or like C can be made by which reactions.These twisty questions can be conquered only by thorough practice,which can be done by coaching modules,DPPs and also Organic Chemistry AIPMT/AIIMS of MS Chouhan.MS Chouhan contains a lot of questions to quench you thirst of Organic Chemistry.Doing it while revising is recommended.Also,regarding doubts the stand remains the same.Ask doubts,make concepts,ask more doubts and make more concepts.
Summary for Physical Chem: Teachers notes,coaching modules,understand the underlying mechanism and concepts of all reactions,practice and ask doubts,improving you concepts gradually.
Inorganic Chemistry - Probably the most dreaded part of Chemistry felt by most of the students.S-block,P-block and what not?But wait,two very interesting and conceptual topics of 'Periodic Table and Periodicity" and the greatest - "Chemical Bonding" are included in it too.For the conceptual part,revising those concepts that your teacher has taught and practicing a good amount of questions is sufficient.For the more mugging up part,I can say that have 2-3 good reading of NCERT, try to link if their is any underlying concept or even popular mnemonics that can help you learn those series and orders of reactivity,boiling point,melting point,stability etc.If not try to write down again and again to remember them.Do all possible questions so that no important fact/concept/order is left.Stick to NCERT book rather than going in much detail
Summary for Inorganic Chemistry : NCERT book for theory,writing down to remember,making self concepts or mnemonics and practice a lot.
Post for Physics and Biology Revision is coming up in the next few days.
UPDATE : I am back on Quora.
Till then
Bye!
