Practice questions and NCERT Solutions for Class 10

Chemistry is one of the vital subjects in Science stream and it is also of very much importance while preparing for various competitive exams and hence it is essential to prepare it from the very beginning. Understanding the concepts and applying them in the provided situation can improvise your learning as well as knowledge ability.

Chemistry is a very important resource for students of CBSE Class 10.Chemistry is an interesting subject for the enhancement of analytical and problem solving skills.

Unfortunately, many students find it difficult because of no interest or lack of better knowledge to comprehend. Chemistry is interesting when comprehended well and practice with easy to hard problems and students find it difficult because most of them do not have their basics clear for the subject. Lack of sufficient practice tool is a major reason.

School Connect Online students are not only solving and understanding questions from Chemistry from NCERT or Syllabus but also they are solving questions to practice Chemistry Olympiad this helps students to become expert

To help you with this, we have learning notes and videos, Practice questions for NCERT, CBSE, with Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry.

Practice Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry

NCERT solutions of Class 10 Chemistry includes solutions of all questions and more to help and support practice with more relevant and important questions. These solutions have been provided and prepared by the most experienced teachers and important resources. A very simple approach has been followed while solving the questions and designing the NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Chemistry. Students will find it extremely easy to understand the problems and how to go about solving them.

Unlike other subjects, rote learning cannot help you to excel in Chemistry,as it requires more Learning approach and critical ability to think and solve. Even for other subjects, rote learning is not recommended as it won’t be of much use after a point of time. Chemistry, from the very beginning, needs one to think logically to enhance analytical ability.Chemistry needs practice and with practice, anything can be perfected, even the way you think and analyze.
So, it is of utmost importance to take Chemistry seriously right from your early school life. Getting your basics clear at this point will make it easier for you to handle difficult concepts as you grow older.

Chemistry of Class 10 standard plays a vital role in strengthening the fundamentals of the subject with comprehensive knowledge and understanding.So, one must prepare for this subject in a serious manner and get all their doubts clear,with maximum practice more and more to master the problem solving skill. Otherwise, they won’t be able to cope with the subject later, especially if they are planning to take up Science in their Higher Secondary level.

Tips and Tricks to learn Chemistry

• Attempt as many conceptual questions on those derivations as you can. This will give you a better understanding of the subject.
•  To build up good concepts always focus on diagrams . First read the theory and then try to relate it with the diagram . This makes a visual impression on your mind that would be easier to remember.
• While studying u can also use a whiteboard and be attached to yourself . Imagine yourself teaching somebody this makes the concepts clearer.
• You should read all the topics with a diagram. 3D diagrams are great to make any complex topic easier to understand. Visuals are more understandable and easily absorbed by the brain
• Learn through mnemonics.(in case of eg)
• Look for new questions on similar context from previous year’s question papers, sample papers and other model test papers.
• Always time yourself while solving sample papers as it will help you better manage time during the exam.

• Practice the derivatives perfectly and do not miss the optics, magnetism and electrostatics as these are the important sections for major questions.Practicing the conceptual question can help in preparing practical as well as the concept once get clear can help in answering question from all sections.
• Solve as many class 10 sample papers you can, but try to solve at least 3-4 completely. Practice past year question papers & model test papers.
• Time management is a must; take out time for re-creation as well along side preparation.
• Try and finish all the topics and questions in the NCERT books.CBSE board questions are majorly based on the question in this book only.
