Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is a functional group?

  1. The longest continuous carbon chain in a molecule
  2. The part of a molecule made only of C–H bonds
  3. The atom or group of atoms that gives a compound its characteristic reactions
  4. A family of compounds with the same general formula
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — The atom or group of atoms that gives a compound its characteristic reactions
Award 1 mark. Compounds with the same functional group react in similar ways. A family with the same general formula is a homologous series.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the IUPAC name of HCHO?

  1. Methanal
  2. Methanol
  3. Methanoic acid
  4. Ethanal
Show answer & explanation

CXC CAPE Chemistry: Nomenclature and isomerism FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CXC CAPE 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 Nomenclature and isomerism practice with other Chemistry topics or even switch to a totally different CXC CAPE 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 Nomenclature and isomerism questions aligned to the official CXC CAPE Chemistry syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CAPE Chemistry specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC CAPE 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 CXC CAPE.
How is Nomenclature and isomerism typically tested on CXC CAPE Chemistry papers?
Nomenclature and isomerism appears across multiple question types on real CXC CAPE 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.
