Introduction to Organic Chemistry Flashcards
Stop rereading. Start retrieving.
Learning Organic Chemistry involves remembering a lot of essential knowledge — from molecular formulae and homologous series to nomenclature, isomerism and the rules used to determine E/Z configuration. But knowing something when you see it in your notes isn’t the same as being able to recall it when you need it.
That’s where retrieval practice comes in.
The Introduction to Organic Chemistry Flashcards give you a simple, active way to test your knowledge and identify the areas that need more revision. Rather than simply reading through your notes again, you’ll have to retrieve the answer from memory before checking whether you got it right.
Designed for the Revise part of the Learn, Revise, Practise Method
The MrColeScience Learn, Revise, Practise Method is built around three essential parts of learning: Learn, to build a solid understanding, Revise, to strengthen your memory, and Practise, to apply your knowledge to exam questions.
These flashcards are designed specifically for the Revise part of that process.
They work alongside the understanding you develop through our Learn resources, helping you turn that knowledge into something you can reliably recall. Once you’ve strengthened your memory, you can move on to Practise and apply it to exam-style questions.
What’s covered?
The pack contains 48 individual flashcards covering seven key areas of Introduction to Organic Chemistry:
- Chemical Formulae
- Homologous Series
- Nomenclature
- Introduction to Reaction Mechanisms
- Structural Isomerism
- E/Z Isomerism
- CIP Priority Rules
Each card focuses on a specific piece of knowledge, giving you a clear question or prompt to answer before revealing the answer.
How should you use them?
The most important thing is not to simply read the cards.
Look at the question or prompt and try to retrieve the answer from memory first. Only then check the answer. Cards you can answer confidently can be set aside, while cards you struggle with can be revisited more frequently.
This makes it much easier to identify gaps in your knowledge and focus your revision where it will have the greatest benefit.
Created for AQA A-Level Chemistry
The content has been specifically designed for students studying AQA A-Level Chemistry, with the focus on the knowledge and terminology you need for your exams.
There’s no unnecessary content and no generic revision material — just targeted retrieval practice covering the Introduction to Organic Chemistry topic.
Print them at home
The flashcards are supplied as a printable PDF designed for double-sided printing, so you can create your own physical set at home.
You don’t need a double-sided printer. The accompanying Read Me First PDF provides clear instructions for printing the cards using a standard printer: simply print the odd-numbered pages first, then print the even-numbered pages in reverse order.
For the best results, I recommend printing the cards onto 160 gsm card stock. Once printed, cut out the individual cards and they’re ready to use.
What you’ll receive
Your purchase includes:
Introduction to Organic Chemistry Flashcards
A printable colour PDF containing 48 individual flashcards covering seven key areas of the Introduction to Organic Chemistry topic.

Ideal for students who…
These flashcards are particularly useful if you’re learning the Introduction to Organic Chemistry topic for the first time, preparing for an assessment, revising the foundations of Organic Chemistry, or simply want a more active alternative to repeatedly reading your notes.
They’re also a useful resource for anyone who wants a straightforward way to identify which parts of the topic they can recall confidently — and which still need work.
Build stronger Organic Chemistry knowledge
Understanding the chemistry is only the beginning. You also need to be able to remember it and use it. Use these flashcards to strengthen your recall and make the knowledge you’ve learned easier to retrieve when you need it.
Learn it. Revise it. Practise it.
