Turn your chemistry notes into flashcards for each chemical group
Upload your slides, PDF or photos of a textbook page, and get flashcards for every functional group your course covers, with spaced repetition built in.
Why generate your own chemical groups flashcards
Functional groups are the small atom clusters that decide how an organic molecule behaves, and most intro chemistry courses test them directly. If you search for a printable sheet, you will find generic lists that may not match the groups on your own slides, so the more useful route is chemical groups flashcards made from the material you were given.
- Cards come from the exact groups in your lecture slides or textbook pages.
- Each card can show a structure on the front and the group name with an example molecule on the back.
- Spaced repetition schedules review of the groups you find hardest.
- Free plan studies in the browser; Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, typed notes or photos of a page, and get cards for the groups your instructor actually taught.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, so the names and structures of each group stick before the exam.
Quizzes and mind maps
Test yourself with multiple choice or short answer questions, or map how the groups relate to each other.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, or a photo of the page where your chemical groups are listed.
Review the cards
Check the generated fronts and backs against your lecture and fix any group that needs a different name or example.
Study on a schedule
Practice in the browser every day, and let spaced repetition focus your time on the groups you still miss.
Start by sorting the groups into families such as oxygen-containing, nitrogen-containing and halogen groups. Then drill the name and the structure together, because exam questions often ask you to identify a group from a drawing and also to draw one from its name. Spaced repetition brings back the ones you miss before you forget them.

Frequently asked questions
How many functional groups should I memorize before an exam?
Start with the groups listed in your syllabus or lecture slides, since those are the ones exams usually test. Add others once you can name the first set from a structure without hesitating.
What is the best way to study functional groups?
Pair each group's structure with its name and one example molecule, then quiz yourself by drawing the group from memory. Reviewing the ones you miss on a spaced schedule works better than rereading a list.
Can I export chemical groups flashcards to Anki or CSV?
Export to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX is part of the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study cards in the browser with 3 generations per month.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off Plus with a school email.
