Why build your own college chemistry flashcards

Most college chemistry exams test your ability to apply definitions, equations and reaction rules to new problems, so a generic deck rarely covers what your professor emphasized. College chemistry flashcards made from your own lecture slides and notes match the terms and examples you were actually taught.

Turn lecture slides, PDFs and typed notes into cards in one step.
Photos of textbook pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition schedules reviews around what you forget.
Review the cards, then switch to quizzes to test application.

Example college chemistry flashcards

What is the difference between atomic number and mass number?Atomic number is the count of protons in the nucleus, while mass number is protons plus neutrons.

What does Le Chatelier's principle predict when a reactant concentration is increased at equilibrium?The system shifts toward the products to partially offset the added reactant.

Define molarity.Moles of solute per liter of solution.

What is the ideal gas law?PV = nRT, relating pressure, volume, moles of gas, gas constant and absolute temperature.

In terms of electrons, what is oxidation?Loss of electrons, and the species that is oxidized acts as the reducing agent.

Generate the full set

Works with your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move further apart, so you spend time on what you actually forget.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Generate multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations, or a mind map of a chapter's main ideas.

How it works

Upload your chemistry material

Add a lecture PDF, a slide deck, your notes, or a photo of a textbook page.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards against your course content and edit any that need a clearer question or answer.

Study on a schedule

Work through the day's cards in the browser. Spaced repetition decides when each card returns.

Start with the chapter you have coming up. Upload the slides or PDF, skim the generated cards for accuracy, and remove any that test trivia rather than concepts. Then study a short session each day so recall is practiced over several days instead of crammed the night before.

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for students who want to study on another device or in another app.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a college chemistry exam?

Aim for one card per distinct idea, such as each definition, equation or reaction type, rather than a fixed count. Most chapters produce a few dozen useful cards, and you can trim the set after your first review pass.

What is the best way to study chemistry flashcards?

Review with spaced repetition and say the answer aloud before flipping the card. For equations and reaction mechanisms, also practice writing them out by hand, because recall is stronger than recognition for problem solving.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki or CSV?

Yes, but exports are a paid feature. The Plus plan includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the free plan lets you study in the browser only.

Is there a free plan, and do students get a discount?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
