Chemistry - Coordination Compounds

Practise 42 VITEEE previous year questions on Coordination Compounds, compiled from papers spanning 2006 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 VITEEE tests.

Coordination Compounds has been asked in 16 of the 18 years of VITEEE papers analysed (2006–2024), with 42 questions in all. 57% of them were easy, 38% moderate and 5% tough. Most of its questions came from 2023, with 4 questions that year. In the last three years (2022–2024) it had 9 questions across 3 papers, about 3 per paper.

The chapter's 6 topics are not weighted equally: Isomerism of coordination compounds (10 questions, 24%), Terminology of coordination compounds (10 questions, 24%), and Werner's theory and Valence Bond Theory (8 questions, 19%) have been asked the most. Isomerism of coordination compounds has also led over the last five years, with 5 questions. Isomerism of coordination compounds has produced the most tough questions (2).
