Chemistry
Coordination compounds for JEE Main & Advanced — naming, isomerism, and CFT basics
Why coordination chemistry is high density for marks on both papers.
On JEE Main
Main tests IUPAC nomenclature, coordination number, types of isomerism, and valence bond vs crystal field reasoning in single-correct MCQ format. Colour and magnetic behaviour deduction from d-orbital splitting appear every year.
On JEE Advanced
Advanced uses multi-correct and paragraph formats: given a coordination complex, identify all correct statements about geometry, hybridisation, magnetic moment, and isomer count simultaneously. Pi-acid ligand identification and denticity in chelates appear in integer-type questions.
How to practise
Use PracticeJEE's Coordination Compounds topic after chemical bonding revision.
