Among the three branches of chemistry, physical chemistry and organic chemistry weightage in NEET UG are considered to have higher, compared to inorganic chemistry. In organic chemistry, some basic principles and techniques and hydrocarbons are two chapters from where most of the questions are asked in NEET UG medical entrance exam.
In Physica chemistry, most of the questions are asked from chemical bonding and molecular structure, electrochemistry and thermodynamics. Inorganic chemistry is not high weightage chapters for NEET and considered relatively easier as straightforward questions are generally asked from this section.
