Flashcards for South African NSC Physical Sciences, split into Paper 1 (Physics) and Paper 2 (Chemistry) and then by the topics the DBE's Examination Guidelines set out, in their order. Formula cards say whether the formula is on the data sheet or must be recalled.

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 is the heat of reaction, ΔH\Delta H?
    The energy absorbed or released in a chemical reaction
  • What are Van der Waals forces?
    The intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules: dipole-dipole forces, induced dipole forces and hydrogen bonding
  • State Ohm's law in words.
    Provided its temperature stays the same, a conductor's potential difference grows in direct proportion to the current through it
  • What is a structural isomer?
    An organic molecule with the same molecular formula as another, but a different structural formula
  • What is a projectile?
    An object that has been given an initial velocity and then moves under the influence of the gravitational force only
  • What is reaction rate?
    How fast the concentration of a reactant or product changes as a reaction runs
  • How does the Arrhenius theory define an acid?
    A substance that produces hydrogen ions (or hydronium ions) in aqueous solution
  • What is momentum?
    An object's mass multiplied by its velocity
  • What is a galvanic cell?
    A cell in which chemical energy is converted into electrical energy
  • What energy conversion takes place in an electrical generator?
    Kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy
