Chemistry - Coordination Compounds

Practise 211 MHTCET previous year questions on Coordination Compounds, compiled from papers spanning 2009 to 2026. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty MHTCET tests.

Coordination Compounds has been asked in 13 of the 17 years of MHTCET papers analysed (2007–2026), with 211 questions in all. 64% of them were easy, 31% moderate and 5% tough. Most of its questions came from 2020, with 34 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 96 questions across 59 papers, about 1.6 per paper.

The chapter's 7 topics are not weighted equally: Terminology of coordination compounds (118 questions, 56%), Werner's theory and Valence Bond Theory (39 questions, 18%), and Nomenclature of coordination compounds (20 questions, 9%) have been asked the most. Terminology of coordination compounds has also led over the last five years, with 79 questions. Terminology of coordination compounds has produced the most tough questions (5).
