CAIE IGCSE Chemistry 11.1.9 Homologous series features: same
Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 syllabus for exams in 2026, 2027 and 20282026–2028

Practise using the shared features of homologous series to compare members, interpret formulae and predict simple trends.

How this is tested

  • describe adjacent members as differing by a -CH2- unit in structural or molecular formulae
  • use tables of boiling points or formulae to predict the next member in a homologous series

Question 35

[Maximum number: 1]

Which statement about a homologous series is correct?

A

All members have the same general formula.

B

All members have the same molecular formula.

C

All members have similar physical properties.

D

Members show a trend in their chemical properties.
