JEE Main 2026 Chemistry Formula Overview

There will be a total of 25 questions from Chemistry in JEE Main 2026, all of which have to be attempted. It is further segregated into Physical, Organic, and Inorganic sections. The maximum number of topics has been reduced from this section (chemistry) only. This makes Chemistry easier than before. However, the high-weightage topics for JEE Main remain the same.

Below are important formulas for JEE Main 2026 Chemistry that are helpful for both sessions. Candidates should solve as many Chemistry questions as they can and implement these formulas to remember them quickly. To crack the JEE Main exam with good marks, paste these formulas near the study table and memorise them.

Preparation tips for JEE Mains

Given below are some tips to help you prepare for JEE Main and score good marks in the exam:

1. First, students need to understand the Syllabus and Exam Pattern so that they can refer to the JEE Main syllabus from the official website.

2. Try to identify the important and high-weightage topics and prepare according to that.

3. Create an effective study plan according to your preparation level. Divide your preparation into monthly, weekly, and daily targets and allocate more time to difficult subjects or topics.

4. Students must focus on conceptual clarity; they must understand the logic and derivations behind every formula.

5. Try to solve questions regularly. Solve previous years' JEE Main question papers and attempt mock tests and sample papers regularly.

How to Memorize Chemistry Formulas Effectively

Students find it difficult to learn formulas for JEE Main, but with the right approach, they can remember them. Given below are some points to remember:

1. Students must try to understand why a formula works and how chemical reactions occur, and their mechanism.

2. Then break down formulas into chapters or topics.

3. To learn these formulas easily, try to make a formula notebook.

4. Sometimes students must try to make Mnemonics and short tricks, as it helps in quick revision.

5. Try to solve as many questions and revise

6. Try to use diagrams and flowcharts.

Questions related to JEE Main

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Hello,

Yes, during JEE Main registration, you can choose up to four preferred exam cities in order of priority. Since you are staying in Kota but belong to Bihar, you can select both locations. For example, Kota as your first choice and your hometown city in Bihar as another option.
When the admit card is released (usually a week before the exam), the final center will be allotted from your chosen options.


Hope you understand.

Hello dear candidate,

You can fill your JEE main and advance forms 2026 normally . No, your 11th registration number will not cause any problem.

You will be treated as 12th appearing student in 2026, not as a dropper . You just need to make sure that your CBSE 12th result comes out in 2026 before counselling.

Thank you.

To be eligible for Himachal Pradesh state quota you must have passed atleast two examinations from Himachal pradesh including the 10th and 12th grades. The other criteria are for government employee wards, if the parents have worked there for atleast two years and completed their 10th and 12th from HP.
