JEE 2008 Syllabus Inorganic Chemistry

I am studying class XI and XII CBSE books of Jauhar along with TMH JEE Book of 2007. I am recording the sections and pages numbers where the specified topics are dealt with in these books for ready reference.

Such a reference seems to be essential for inorganic chemistry because the syllabus is not fitting into a simple chapter schemes of texts. For physical chemistry and organic chemistry each topic is distinct chapter in the books.
