What to check for in any Chemistry revision notes

Before trusting a resource with your revision time, check it against these:

Four Chemistry mistakes that cost marks

These come up again and again in Chemistry answers. Check your own against them.

Saying covalent bonds break when a simple molecular substance melts or boilsOnly the weak forces between molecules are overcome. The covalent bonds inside each molecule stay intact, so writing otherwise loses the explanation marks.
Saying electrons flow through the electrolyteIn electrolysis, electrons travel through the wires. Ions carry the current through the molten or dissolved electrolyte. Mixing the two up loses the mark.
Writing “clear” when the answer is “colourless”A clear solution can still be coloured: copper(II) sulfate solution is clear and blue. Observation marks need “colourless”.
Forgetting to convert cm³ to dm³ in a mole calculationConcentration is in mol/dm³, so 25.0 cm³ must become 0.0250 dm³. Skipping it leaves the answer a factor of 1000 out and loses the answer mark.

Where students look for IGCSE Chemistry notes

General revision sites like ZNotes, Tutopiya, and Save My Exams, past-paper archives like PapaCambridge, and subject-specific sites like Glide all show up for this search — each with a different structure and depth. Run whichever one you’re using against the checklist above rather than assuming free means equivalent, or that paid means better.
