IB DP Chemistry: Structure 3.2 – Functional Groups
This resource provides structured, exam-focused practice for Structure 3.2: Functional Groups in the IB Diploma Programme Chemistry course. It is designed to support both classroom instruction and independent revision, with questions written to reflect how this topic is assessed in IB examinations.
The questions emphasise correct interpretation of IB command terms and are suitable for timed practice using approximately 90 seconds per mark, helping students refine both content understanding and effective exam technique.
What the Resource Includes
A variety of exam-style questions targeting functional group recognition and application
Multiple question formats to reinforce conceptual understanding
Structured progression from basic identification to analytical reasoning
A detailed answer key with clear, worked explanations
Key Topics Covered
Identification of common functional groups
Naming conventions and functional group notation
Structural features associated with functional groups
Predicting reactivity based on functional group presence
Relating functional groups to physical and chemical properties
How It Supports Exam Preparation
