s Block Elements — NEET/JEE Questions, Notes & Weightage
Class 11 Inorganic Chemistry NEET weightage: Medium 0 questions
Covers Group 1 (alkali metals) and Group 2 (alkaline earth metals) — their properties, compounds (NaOH, Na2CO3, CaCO3, etc.), and biological/industrial importance. Property-comparison questions across the group, and specific compound preparation/uses, are commonly tested.

Which group gets more NEET/JEE questions — Group 1 or Group 2?
Both are tested fairly evenly, but specific industrially important compounds (washing soda, plaster of Paris, bleaching powder context overlaps) tend to generate the most applied questions.
Is the anomalous behaviour of lithium/beryllium tested?
Yes — lithium's and beryllium's differences from the rest of their groups (due to small size) are a recurring "anomalous behaviour" question theme.
