How these cards work
Define cards carry a term on the front and its definition on the back. Check cards carry a question with a short written answer, one per lesson; write the answer out before turning the card over. Spot the error cards carry an inaccurate statement on the front for you to correct.
Your card schedule is kept in this browser, on this device, unless you sign in, just like the revision checklist. For Anki, the same cards are available as free Anki decks, one per unit.

- NeutronDEFINE
- ElectronDEFINE
- Atomic numberDEFINE
- Mass numberDEFINE
- IsotopesDEFINE
- IonDEFINE
- IsoelectronicDEFINE
- Isotopes are the radioactive versions of an element, so a chlorine isotope must be something different from ordinary chlorineSPOT THE ERROR
- Protons, neutrons, electrons and isotopes: check questionCHECK
- Relative isotopic massDEFINE
- Relative atomic massDEFINE
- Relative molecular massDEFINE
- m/zDEFINE
- Electron impact ionisationDEFINE
- Electrospray ionisationDEFINE
- Molecular ionDEFINE
- M+1 peakDEFINE
- M+2 peakDEFINE
- The relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.5 because that is how heavy a chlorine atom isSPOT THE ERROR
- Time-of-flight mass spectrometry and relative atomic mass: check questionCHECK
- ShellDEFINE
- SubshellDEFINE
- OrbitalDEFINE
- Electron configurationDEFINE
- Pauli principleDEFINE
- Hund's ruleDEFINE
- BlockDEFINE
- Principal quantum numberDEFINE
- Ground stateDEFINE
- Excited stateDEFINE
- Electrons fill shells two, then eight, then eight, and that is all there is to the arrangementSPOT THE ERROR
- Electron configuration: shells, subshells and orbitals: check questionCHECK
- First ionisation energyDEFINE
- Second ionisation energyDEFINE
- Successive ionisation energiesDEFINE
- nth ionisation energyDEFINE
- Nuclear chargeDEFINE
- Atomic radiusDEFINE
- ShieldingDEFINE
- Spin-pair repulsionDEFINE
- Ionisation energy goes up steadily across a period, so every element has a higher value than the one before itSPOT THE ERROR
- Ionisation energies and the evidence for subshells: check questionCHECK
