Chemistry - Solid State
Practise 31 VITEEE previous year questions on Solid State, compiled from papers spanning 2006 to 2022. 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.
Solid State has been asked in 16 of the 18 years of VITEEE papers analysed (2006–2024), with 31 questions in all. 58% of them were easy, 32% moderate and 10% tough. Most of its questions came from 2017, with 4 questions that year. In the last three years (2022–2024) it had 3 questions across 1 paper, about 3 per paper.
The chapter's 6 topics are not weighted equally: Cubic system (13 questions, 42%), Crystal Structure of Solids (5 questions, 16%), and Ionic structure (5 questions, 16%) have been asked the most. Over the last five years the most frequent topics have been Crystal Structure of Solids (1), Cubic system (1), and Electrical and Magnetic properties (1). Crystal Structure of Solids has produced the most tough questions (2).
