Aditya, JEE Mains will be held with reduced syllabus which means the chapter wise distribution and weightage might change. So we need to wait for the updated syllabus and an official information regarding this. But going by previous years, In Chemistry, Transition Elements and Coordination Chemistry, Periodic Table and Representative elements take 3 questions slot. Thermodynamics and Gaseous state, Atomic structure, Chemical Bonding, Chemical and Iconic Equilibrium, Solid State and Surface Chemistry and Nuclear Chemistry and Environment get 2 questions slot each and the remaining get 1 question each.
