Here is the list of JEE Main chemistry books along with the names of authors/publishers that the candidates can refer for JEE Main 2022 preparation.

Best Book for JEE Mains Chemistry 2022 – One of the easiest of the three JEE Main subjects is Chemistry. However, choosing the best Chemistry books for JEE Main becomes somewhat difficult. The reason for this is that there are different books for each unit and for the theoretical and numerical part of Chemistry which are pretty good. To do well in this subject, you need a combination of multiple books which increases the confusion about the best books for JEE Main Chemistry.

Chemistry is divided into three parts - Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Inorganic Chemistry. Unlike the other two subjects – Physics and Mathematics, Chemistry is more about planning and less about applications and concepts. With strong fundamentals, proper planning, and consistency, candidates can easily score high in the subject.

Aman Goel, JEE Main 2013 Topper, and Shiksha expert say, “Chemistry is the subject that is generally ignored by JEE aspirants. The argument given is that the subject involves a lot of memorization. However, if the subject is studied in the right way, one will realize that most of the concepts of this subject are quite intuitive and logical. All it takes is the right understanding of the fundamentals”.
