Why build your own molecular geometry deck

Your professor's slides on VSEPR shapes rarely line up with the exact molecules on your exam, so molecular geometry flashcards made from those slides target what you will actually be tested on.

  • Cards pulled from your own chemistry slides and notes
  • Spaced repetition that favors the shapes you miss
  • Photo input for whiteboard and textbook pages
  • Export to Anki and CSV on the Plus plan
Example molecular geometry flashcards for general chemistry
What is the molecular geometry of CH4?Tetrahedral, with bond angles of about 109.5 degrees and four bonding pairs on the central carbon.
What is the molecular geometry of NH3?Trigonal pyramidal, because the lone pair on nitrogen pushes the three N-H bonds into a pyramid with bond angles near 107 degrees.
What is the molecular geometry of H2O?Bent, with two lone pairs on oxygen and a bond angle of about 104.5 degrees.
What is the molecular geometry of SF6?Octahedral, with six bonding pairs around sulfur and 90-degree bond angles between adjacent bonds.
What is the molecular geometry of CO2?Linear, with two double bonds on carbon, no lone pairs, and a bond angle of 180 degrees.

Built from your own material

Cards come from the slides, notes, or pages you upload, so they match the shapes and examples your instructor actually covers.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know drop off the daily list, so VSEPR shapes stick before the exam.

Photos work too

Snap a page from your lab manual or whiteboard and text recognition reads it into flashcards you can edit.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or images of a page covering molecular shapes.

Review the generated cards

Check the shape names, bond angles, and example molecules, and edit anything that does not match your course.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck in the browser each day and let spaced repetition push the weak cards forward.

Most students mix up trigonal pyramidal and bent, or forget which shapes have lone pairs on the central atom. A deck built from your own lecture notes keeps those distinctions tied to the examples you were taught.

When you are ready to go beyond the browser, Plus adds export to Anki and CSV, so the same cards can move into the study app you already use.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for molecular geometry?

Aim for one card per shape, covering its name, bond angle, and an example molecule. Most intro courses need about a dozen cards once you include the common AXE arrangements.

How do I tell molecular geometry apart from electron geometry?

Electron geometry counts every electron domain, including lone pairs, while molecular geometry describes only where the atoms sit. Lone pairs are what turn a tetrahedral electron arrangement into a bent or trigonal pyramidal molecule.

Can I export these flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is part of the Plus plan, which also includes PDF, DOCX, and CSV export. 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 no credit card is needed to start.
