Why a custom quiz beats a generic one

Most ready-made quizzes on polyatomic ions cover the common ions but skip the charges and formulas your own course emphasizes, so a pre-made set often misses what you will be tested on.

  • Questions drawn from your own slides, notes or textbook pages
  • Multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats
  • Explanations that explain the charge or structure behind each answer
  • Spaced repetition and exports available on paid plans
Example polyatomic ions quiz questions
What is the charge and formula of the sulfate ion?SO₄²⁻, with a 2− charge. Sulfur is bonded to four oxygen atoms, and the overall charge of the group is 2−.
What is the charge of the nitrate ion?1−, written NO₃⁻. Nitrogen is bonded to three oxygen atoms, and the group carries one extra electron.
Which polyatomic ion is a common cation, with formula NH₄⁺?The ammonium ion, with a 1+ charge. It is one of the few common polyatomic cations, so it does not follow the usual negative-charge pattern.
What is the charge of the phosphate ion?3−, written PO₄³⁻. Phosphorus is bonded to four oxygen atoms, and the group takes three electrons to reach its net charge.
What is the formula and charge of the hydroxide ion?OH⁻, with a 1− charge. It is one oxygen and one hydrogen bonded together, and the group carries one extra electron.

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. The questions come from the ions your teacher actually covered.

Explanations on every question

Each answer comes with a short explanation, so you learn why a charge or formula is right, not just which letter to pick.

Three question types

Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer. Mix them to test recognition of ion names and recall of formulas.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck or text file covering polyatomic ions. Photos of printed pages work too.

Pick a question type

Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.

Practice and review

Answer in the browser, read the explanations for misses, and repeat until the charges and formulas stick.

A quiz built from your own lecture notes or textbook chapter follows your syllabus. It can ask about the ions you were actually assigned, such as sulfate, nitrate or phosphate, and it shows the reasoning behind each answer.

Start with the free plan, which includes 3 generations a month and browser study. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX and Anki export for students who want to study away from the screen.

Frequently asked questions

What polyatomic ions should I memorize first?

Start with the ones that appear most in your course, usually sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, carbonate, hydroxide and ammonium. Learn each name with its formula and charge together, since test questions often ask for all three.

How often should I quiz myself on polyatomic ion charges?

Short sessions of 10 to 15 questions spread over several days work better than one long cram session. Retest the ions you missed until you get them right twice in a row.

Can I export the quiz to Moodle or another LMS?

QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on the Pro plan. PDF and DOCX export come with Plus, and the free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan with no credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off the paid plans.
