Chemistry - Coordination Compounds

Practise 24 Manipal (MET) previous year questions on Coordination Compounds, compiled from papers spanning 2010 to 2024. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty Manipal (MET) tests.

Coordination Compounds has been asked in 13 of the 15 years of Manipal (MET) papers analysed (2010–2024), with 24 questions in all. 58% of them were easy, 38% moderate and 4% tough. Most of its questions came from 2020, with 4 questions that year. In the last three years (2022–2024) it had 3 questions across 3 papers, about 1 per paper.

The chapter's 7 topics are not weighted equally: Terminology of coordination compounds (12 questions, 50%), Werner's theory and Valence Bond Theory (6 questions, 25%), and Isomerism of coordination compounds (2 questions, 8%) have been asked the most. Terminology of coordination compounds has also led over the last five years, with 3 questions. Nomenclature of coordination compounds has produced the most tough questions (1).
