Ready-made sets versus cards from your own notes

Chemistry basics cover a lot of ground quickly: atoms, moles, bonding and reactions all show up in the first few weeks. If you were hoping for a ready-made set, DeckOwl builds chemistry basics flashcards from your own material instead, since your instructor's terms and examples are what the exam will use.

Atoms, ions and periodic table trends
Moles, molar mass and Avogadro's number
Chemical bonding and reaction types
Acids, bases and pH basics

Example chemistry basics flashcards

What is the difference between an atom and a molecule?An atom is the smallest unit of an element that keeps its identity, while a molecule is two or more atoms bonded together.

What does the atomic number of an element represent?The number of protons in the nucleus, which is what defines the element.

What does Avogadro's number represent?About 6.022 x 10^23 particles, such as atoms or molecules, in one mole of a substance.

What is the pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 25 degrees Celsius?7. Solutions with a pH below 7 are acidic and those above 7 are basic.

What does the law of conservation of mass state?Matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, so the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page and get cards drawn from your own course content.

Spaced repetition

Cards return at the intervals where you are most likely to forget them, so basic terms stick before the next quiz.

Quizzes with explanations

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions include explanations, so you learn why a bond or reaction works the way it does.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, a document or a photo of a textbook page.

Review the cards

Check the flashcards DeckOwl pulls out and edit anything that does not match your class.

Study on a schedule

Work through due cards in the browser, or export to Anki on Plus if you prefer that app.

A ready-made chemistry set can cover the general topics, but it will not match the notation, units and order your instructor uses. Cards generated from your lecture slides or textbook chapter keep those details, so you practice what is actually on the test.

Start with the free plan, which includes 3 generations a month and browser study with no credit card required. Plus adds unlimited generations and export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV.

Frequently asked questions

What should chemistry basics flashcards cover?

Start with definitions and units such as atoms, elements, moles, bonding and balancing equations. Then add the formulas and rules your instructor stresses in class.

How many flashcards should I make for an intro chemistry unit?

Aim for the terms and rules introduced in each lecture rather than every sentence in the chapter. Reviewing a focused set daily works better than one long session before the exam.

Can I export chemistry flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included with Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start.
