NEET Success with Chemistry XII Podcasts
About
In this episode, we crack the d- and f-block elements, a high-scoring inorganic chemistry chapter for NEET.
We’ll begin with the general properties of transition elements, including variable oxidation states, colored compounds, magnetic behavior, and catalytic activity. You’ll also learn why these elements form alloys and complexes so easily. Next, we’ll dive into the inner transition elements (lanthanides and actinides), their common oxidation states, and unique properties such as lanthanide contraction and actinide radioactivity. Comparisons between d- and f-block elements will be simplified to make concepts crystal clear. We’ll also highlight the important compounds of transition metals (like potassium dichromate and potassium permanganate) that are frequently tested in NEET.
With exam hacks, memory aids, and simplified trends, this episode ensures you master d- and f-block chemistry with confidence — turning an intimidating topic into a scoring advantage!
