Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.I am using cengage rn , and wanna swicth my book/add practice before it is too late
Ncert and exemplar
Lab manual too
Also
.chem
For questions too?
Like for atomic structure and chemical bonding
I think I have exemplar but it is buried somehwre so will def find and do it
is cengage physical chem good?
Absolutely. Must do all there.
Big no.
Not rlly, a lot of key mistakes too
dang 💀
On the link above online links are given.
May ik why tho

It's pointless. It has errors, questions are not relevant. And it's my theory heinie. It just has a lot of formulas. They made a fat book with a lot of error valid questions. So yeah, that's the short answer.
I checked it out tyy, but is there a book like for chem which is like a hcv for phy? Other than exemplar and lab manual bc I have em already sry if this is rude by any ways

And if you still feel like doing something, there's no force in the world that's going to stop you from doing it. But since one asks for opinion, Jesus told him, if you ask me, never. Even if I hate somebody, I would not tell them, I don't hate anybody, but I would recommend it to anybody. Like literally nobody. Among the levels of books, if there are five levels or even five, six levels, I would say, I would never recommend that book to anybody. That's just my take on this, because I've worked with it pretty closely.
Oh ok thank god I did only atomic structure in it, do u not recommend it for chemistry generally or just physical?

No, no. It's OK. Why is this rude? It's absolutely fine. I'm pushing. Oh, it's not something you don't have an idea what you can ask away. I've suggested Ebbing and Zumdahl, those are really, really good books. Ebbing is more than enough for Jamin and Neet. If you want to go all the way to JEE Advanced, Zumdahl is your best guide for physical chemistry.
Oh ok tysmmmm for understanding , does zumdahl also cover main lvl questions? Or only advance lvl
Also what abt inorganic chem?

All of chemistry, bro. I've explained elsewhere as to why, because I worked closely with reviewing each and every question. That was like something I had to do before Baidu signed up with Cengage to give their books. And I flatly said, please don't give Cengage. It has too many errors. But we were like, hey, the deal's already made. All the other subjects are good. Please try and fix as much chemistry as you can. And I was giving very short time to a very few number of people. And I told them, look, it's not possible to fix all the errors. But we fixed what we could in the given time. And it went out with all the errors. And at that time, the person, at least for Amicable and me, whatever I said, that guy changed things. But after that edition, this was back in 2018-2019. After that edition, I don't know what happened, who did what. So yeah, I don't recommend Cengage to anybody for chemistry of anything, physical, organic or inorganic. Because again, I've had my team to look at those questions. And we have done random sampling because of the time that we were given. If there are 100 questions, we were able to look at maybe 10 or 15 of those questions. And out of those 10 or 15 questions, we found errors in five or six of them. And this was random sampling. I don't know if you know how that means. That is ridiculous for a book that charges you so much money and it's so popular.

Yeah, yeah, Zumdahl is a beautiful book. Read it. That'll answer your question directly. It goes all the way from the basics to the highest level. So, you need to know where to stop. That's what the deal is.

Inorganically, NCRT is enough, more than enough.

But you got to do exemplar in lab manual questions.
Oh ok will ask my parents to buy asap then, time to ditch cengage
Oh ok tysm, I will dig up the exemplar now

give you a lot of formula that's like the worst way to do physical chemistry you're supposed to teach people how to what the process is and students most figure out you're like 10 ways of doing the same question which is fine but instead ncrd just gives these formula with d and 10 which is ridiculous
Oh ok yah I’ll def look more into it, also I heard of op tandon for physical chem when I asked one of my seniors, is it good?
Never heard of OP Tandon, for some reason.
Yea i only knew about it for oc so i bought this book. Never opened though cos solomons lol.

And I thought O.P. Turner was an organic chemistry person.
O
Ok then I’ll def look into zoomdahl tysmm
