Example chemistry flashcards to adapt for Anki
Define Avogadro's number.6.022 × 10^23, the number of particles in one mole of a substance.
What is the difference between an exothermic and an endothermic reaction?Exothermic reactions release heat to the surroundings; endothermic reactions absorb heat from them.
What does Le Chatelier's principle predict?A system at equilibrium shifts to partly offset a change, such as added reactant or a change in temperature.
What is the charge on a sulfate ion?2- (SO4 2-), because it carries two more electrons than protons.
What is the pH of a neutral solution at 25 °C?7, where hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion concentrations are equal.

Works from your material

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at intervals that help chemistry terms stick, such as reaction types, naming rules and periodic trends.

Export to Anki on Plus

Plus adds Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV export, so your deck can move into the app you already use.

How it works

Upload your chemistry material

Add lecture slides, lab handouts or notes. Images of pages work too.

Generate and review the cards

Get flashcards with spaced repetition in the browser. The free plan includes 3 generations a month.

Export to Anki

On Plus, export the deck to Anki and keep studying it there alongside your other courses.

Prebuilt decks rarely match the course you are taking. Your instructor's lecture order, the examples in your lab manual and the notation your textbook uses all differ. Cards made from your own material keep those details, so the answer on the back matches what you were taught.

DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plus photos of pages, and turns them into cards you can review in the browser. The free plan includes 3 generations a month. Plus adds Anki export, so you can keep studying the same cards in Anki.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a chemistry unit?

There is no fixed count. A good rule is one card per definition, rule or reaction type, then cut the cards you already know well and keep the ones you miss.

What chemistry topics work best as flashcards?

Definitions, naming rules, periodic trends, common reaction types and unit conversions suit flashcards well. Multi-step problems work better as worked examples or quiz questions with explanations.

Can I export DeckOwl flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export to Anki is a Plus feature, and the free plan lets you study in the browser without exports. Plus is $39/year or $7.99/month, and students get 40% off with a school email.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card and make 3 generations a month.
