Periodic Table flashcards — questions people ask

How many cards are in the Periodic Table flashcard deck?

The Periodic Table deck on PuzzlePage has 118 cards. The first 30 are free to play and free to download with no account; the remaining 88 unlock for $2.99 as a one-time payment, or with the $11.99-a-month Study Pack that covers every deck on the site. The periodic table has 118 elements. That is the whole table, not a selection.

What is on the periodic table flashcards?

All 118 elements, symbol to name. Each back gives the full name, the atomic number and the family — alkali metal, halogen, lanthanide and the rest. Cards look like this: H → Hydrogen — 1, nonmetal; He → Helium — 2, noble gas. The deck is written for grades 7–12 and filed under science.

Can I study periodic table flashcards online for free?

Yes. The first 30 cards of the Periodic Table deck play free in any web browser at puzzlepage.app, with no account, no app and no card details. It works on a phone, tablet, Chromebook, laptop or classroom projector. Practice mode flips through the cards with nothing scored; quiz mode makes you answer each card before it flips, times the run and scores it.

Are the periodic table flashcards accurate?

Every card in the Periodic Table deck was read and fact-checked by a subject-matter specialist before it went on sale, as was every other card on PuzzlePage — 5,420 cards across 30 decks. The audit found and fixed real defects, and one deck was withdrawn from sale entirely rather than shipped with a known problem. That is the difference from a user-generated flashcard site, where the cards are whatever a stranger typed and nobody is accountable for them.

Can I print the periodic table flashcards?

Yes. The Periodic Table cards are available as a printable double-sided PDF to cut up, as well as playable in the browser. The first 30 cards are free to download; the full 118-card printable is included in the $11.99-a-month Study Pack.

How should I use the Periodic Table deck to revise?

Start in practice mode and go through the Periodic Table deck once without scoring, to find out which cards you already know — the deck is dealt in a different order every time you open it, so you are recalling the card rather than its position. Then switch to quiz mode, which times and scores the run and lets you re-run only the cards you missed. Use the "flip deck" control to swap which side is the question: recognising an answer is much easier than producing one, so a deck you find easy one way round is usually the harder and more useful drill the other way. Two or three short sessions across a week beat one long one, which is the whole reason flashcards work.

What grade level are the periodic table flashcards for?

The Periodic Table deck is written for grades 7–12. Because the cards are plain term-and-answer pairs, they are also used outside that band — by adults revising science, and by teachers running them as a whole-class starter on a projector.
