Hydrocarbon NEET Syllabus 2026
The NEET Hydrocarbon syllabus is listed under Organic Chemistry section. To understand the Hydrocarbon chapter, candidates need to prepare through the NEET 2026 syllabus. This chapter makes students understand the basics of Organic Chemistry, learn the reactions and know the uses of compounds. The complete syllabus must be covered before taking the NEET PYQ of Hydrocarbon chapter. Check the Hydrocarbon NEET syllabus below-
- Classification, isomerism, IUPAC nomenclature, general methods of preparation, properties, and reactions.
- Alkanes - Conformations: Sawhorse and Newman projections (of ethane): Mechanism of halogenation of alkanes.
- Alkenes - Geometrical isomerism: Mechanism of electrophilic addition: addition of hydrogen, halogens, water, hydrogen halides (Markownikoffs and peroxide effect): Ozonolysis and polymerization.
- Alkynes - Acidic character: Addition of hydrogen, halogens, water, and hydrogen halides: Polymerization.
- Aromatic hydrocarbons - Nomenclature, benzene - structure and aromaticity: Mechanism of electrophilic substitution: halogenation, nitration.
- Friedel - Craft's alkylation and acylation, directive influence of the functional group in monosubstituted benzene.
Commonly asked questions
The NEET UG exam comprises Physics, Chemistry and Biology sections. There are a total 180 questions in the exam. The exam carries 720 marks. The section wise-wightage of these three sections is shared below-
NEET Physics- 45 questions (180 marks)
NEET Chemistry- 45 questions (180 marks)
NEET Biology (Botany & Zoology)- 90 questions (360 marks)
Candidates can get 700+ scores in NEET exam by preparing well in advance. Have a look at the NEET preparation tips to score high marks in the exam-
- Master the syllabus through NCERT books.
- Study the high-weigtage topics in detail.
- Practice the NEET mock test and sample papers.
- Solve last 5 years question papers of NEET UG.
- Revise regularly.
Candidates need to obtain the NEET exam pass marks to clear the exam. The minimum NEET cutoff percentile that candidates must obtain is shared below-
Category | NEET Cut off percentile |
|---|---|
UR/EWS | 50th |
OBC, SC, ST | 40th |
UR/EWS-PwD | 45th |
OBC/SC/St-PwD | 40th |
The 80/20 rule in NEET is applible in case when candidates have limited time to study for the exam. The rule implies rather than covering the entire syllabus, candidates should focus on 20% of the high-value topics that are likely to form about 80% of the NEET question paper.
