Why students use flashcards for IGCSE chemistry

Edexcel's IGCSE chemistry course asks you to remember a lot of exact facts: symbols, charges, definitions, balanced equations and the conditions for each reaction. IGCSE Edexcel chemistry flashcards help with that recall, and making them yourself from your own notes is the part that keeps them useful.

  • Cards built from your own class notes, slides and textbook photos, not a generic chemistry deck
  • Spaced repetition that brings back the cards you keep getting wrong
  • Quizzes with explanations for checking your understanding of a topic
  • Export to Anki, PDF or CSV on the Plus plan when you want to study away from the browser
Example IGCSE chemistry flashcards, Edexcel topics
What is the relative charge of a proton?+1, with a relative mass of about 1.
What is an ionic bond?The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, formed when electrons are transferred from a metal to a non-metal.
What is the equation linking moles, mass and molar mass?Moles = mass ÷ molar mass, where molar mass is in g/mol.
What does a catalyst do to the activation energy of a reaction?It lowers the activation energy by providing an alternative pathway, and it is not used up in the reaction.
What is the general formula of the alkanes?CnH2n+2, with only single carbon to carbon bonds.

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, DOCX files, plain text notes or photos of pages. The cards cover the topics your teacher actually taught.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, and cards you know fade into longer gaps. You spend time on what you are likely to forget.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Switch from flashcards to multiple choice, true or false, or short answer quizzes with explanations, or lay out a topic as a mind map.

How it works

Upload your chemistry notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file or photo of your notes from the Edexcel IGCSE chemistry course.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl pulls out key terms, definitions, equations and facts and turns them into question and answer cards.

Review a little every day

Study in the browser with spaced repetition. Short, regular sessions work better than one long cram before the exam.

DeckOwl reads your notes and suggests cards for the terms and ideas in them. You can review them in the browser on the free plan, and the spaced repetition schedule shows you which cards need attention each day.

Flashcards work best alongside past papers. Use the cards to get the facts into memory, then test yourself with timed questions so you practise applying them.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for IGCSE chemistry?

Start with one card per key term, definition or equation in each topic, then add cards for any reaction or calculation you keep getting wrong. Short daily sessions work better than one long cram.

Should I study from past papers or flashcards for Edexcel chemistry?

Use flashcards to recall definitions, equations and facts, and past papers to apply them under timed conditions. Doing both across the same weeks tends to work better than either one alone.

Can I export these flashcards to Anki or print them?

Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV is included in the Plus plan. The free plan lets you study in the browser, with 3 generations per month and no exports.

Does DeckOwl work with photos of my chemistry notes?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, and clear, well-lit printed pages give the best results. You can also upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX or plain text notes.
