Flashcards for NZ NCEA Level 3 Chemistry, covering the three externally examined achievement standards (91390, 91391, 91392), split into one subdeck per standard and then by topic. Written from the 2026 assessment specifications and the achievement standards (version 2). Delete or suspend any subdeck your course leaves out once the deck is yours.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.

Some of its cards

  • What type of reaction converts a haloalkane into an alkene using potassium hydroxide dissolved in ethanol?
    Elimination
  • Ionic bonding is the strong electrostatic attraction between [...].
    Ionic bonding is the strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a giant lattice.
  • Why does an ionic compound with strong electrostatic forces between its ions have a high melting point?
    A large amount of energy is needed to break apart the lattice and overcome the strong attraction between the ions
  • What is the basis of the electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory used to predict molecular shapes?
    Electron pairs around a central atom repel each other and arrange themselves as far apart as possible, to minimise repulsion
  • Atomic radius is a measure of the size of an atom, usually taken as [...].
    Atomic radius is a measure of the size of an atom, usually taken as half the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms of the same element.
  • What is the simple chemical test for a carbon-carbon double bond?
    Adding bromine water; the orange bromine water decolourises if a double bond is present
  • A ligand is a molecule or ion that donates a lone pair of electrons to a central metal ion, forming [...].
    A ligand is a molecule or ion that donates a lone pair of electrons to a central metal ion, forming a dative covalent bond.
  • What prefix is used in IUPAC names for a chain of 1 carbon atom?
    meth-
  • What organic product forms when a primary alcohol is oxidised under mild conditions, with the product distilled off as it forms?
    An aldehyde
  • What is meant by a sparingly soluble ionic solid?
    An ionic solid that dissolves in water only to a very small extent, so an equilibrium exists between the undissolved solid and its dissolved ions
