States of Matter — NEET/JEE Questions, Notes & Weightage
Class 11 Chemical Bonding & States of Matter NEET weightage: High 114 questions
Covers gas laws, the ideal gas equation, kinetic molecular theory, real-gas deviation (van der Waals), and liquid-state properties. Ideal-gas-equation numericals and real-vs-ideal gas behaviour are this chapter's most exam-relevant content.

Frequently asked questions
What numerical is asked most from this chapter?
PV=nRT-based calculations (finding pressure, volume, or molar mass) and combining gas laws (Boyle's, Charles's) into a single problem are the most common formats.
Is van der Waals correction commonly tested?
Yes, at a conceptual level — knowing why real gases deviate from ideal behaviour at high pressure/low temperature is frequently asked.
