Rapid Chemistry
High Yield Facts Book
Rapid Chemistry, published by MTG Learning Media and catalysed by Zarrin Khan (M.Sc. Chemistry) and Karabi Ghosh (M.Tech.), is a compressed fact-based chemistry revision book built for students who need to cover the entire syllabus in very little time. The book follows an “at a glance” approach — every concept is laid out in points form, which makes it easier to scan and recall during the final weeks before an exam.
What sets this book apart is its refusal to waste your time. There are no long-winded explanations. Each page delivers high-yield facts, key reactions, and essential formulas in a format you can actually revise in one sitting. MTG designed it specifically as a memory aid, not a textbook — so if you already understand the fundamentals and just need a sharp recap, this book does exactly that.
Book Features
The entire syllabus is presented in bullet points rather than dense paragraphs. This format lets you jump straight to any topic, find the formula or reaction you need, and move on. Chapters are kept short and focused — no filler material, no repetition of concepts you already grasped in class.
A particularly useful aspect is the way physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry sections each follow a consistent structure. You get definitions first, then key formulas or trends, then important reactions or exceptions. That predictability saves time when you are flipping through pages under pressure.
The book is also lightweight and portable. Slip it into a bag and revise during a commute, between coaching classes, or in the thirty minutes before you fall asleep. The authors describe each page as something to be “slowly savored and slowly digested” — a reminder that density works best when you pause and think about what you just read.
Chapter Index
The index spans 31 chapters across all three branches of chemistry. Here is the complete breakdown:
| # | Chapter Name | Branch |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Atoms, Molecules and Chemical Arithmetic | Physical |
| 2 | States of Matter | Physical |
| 3 | Atomic Structure | Physical |
| 4 | Chemical Bonding | Physical |
| 5 | Solutions | Physical |
| 6 | Energetics | Physical |
| 7 | Equilibrium | Physical |
| 8 | Redox Reactions | Physical |
| 9 | Electrochemistry | Physical |
| 10 | Kinetics | Physical |
| 11 | Nuclear Chemistry | Physical |
| 12 | Surface Chemistry | Physical |
| 13 | Periodic Properties | Inorganic |
| 14 | Metallurgy | Inorganic |
| 15 | Hydrogen and Its Compounds | Inorganic |
| 16 | s-Block Elements | Inorganic |
| 17 | p-Block Elements | Inorganic |
| 18 | Transition Elements | Inorganic |
| 19 | Complex Compounds | Inorganic |
| 20 | Basic Concepts of Organic Chemistry | Organic |
| 21 | Purification and Analysis | Organic |
| 22 | Hydrocarbons | Organic |
| 23 | Alkyl and Aryl Halides | Organic |
| 24 | Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers | Organic |
| 25 | Aldehydes and Ketones | Organic |
| 26 | Carboxylic Acids and their Derivatives | Organic |
| 27 | Nitrogen Containing Compounds | Organic |
| 28 | Polymers | Organic |
| 29 | Biochemistry | Organic |
| 30 | Chemistry in Action | Organic |
| 31 | Practical Chemistry | Organic |
That breadth makes it useful across multiple exam syllabi without needing separate reference books. Physical chemistry covers everything from stoichiometry to kinetics. Inorganic walks through periodic trends, block chemistry, and coordination compounds. Organic spans the full chain from basic concepts through functional groups, polymers, and biochemistry.
Who Should Read This Book
Intended Audience
Students preparing for NEET benefit from the concise presentation of formulas and reaction summaries, especially in chapters like Chemical Bonding and p-Block Elements where rapid recall matters. NEST and IISER IAT aspirants get solid coverage of Atomic Structure, Energetics, and Basic Organic Chemistry — topics that frequently appear in these entrance tests. Since the book was originally positioned for IIT JEE and other engineering entrance exams, the depth in Kinetics, Electrochemistry, and Transition Elements also serves students tackling tougher competitive papers.
One thing to keep in mind: this is a revision tool, not a first-time learning resource. The compression is intentional. Every page is dense with information, and rushing through it will not help. But if you have studied the material once and want a reliable, portable reference to sharpen your edge before exam day, Rapid Chemistry fills that role well.
