How is the periodic table arranged?

  1. By alphabetical order
  2. By increasing atomic number, with elements in groups having similar properties
  3. By mass only
  4. Randomly
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — By increasing atomic number, with elements in groups having similar properties
Elements are ordered by atomic number (protons). Vertical columns (groups) contain elements with similar chemical properties because they have the same number of outer electrons.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

CIE IGCSE Chemistry: The Periodic Table FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Chemistry?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix The Periodic Table practice with other Chemistry topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the The Periodic Table questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Chemistry syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Chemistry specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is The Periodic Table typically tested on CIE IGCSE Chemistry papers?
The Periodic Table appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Chemistry papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
