Why a Reaction Map Helps Revision
A visual map shows how reaction types, rates and energy changes link together.
Build from your own material
Upload lecture slides, a PDF or class notes and get a map of your chemistry topic.
Organized by reaction type
Branches separate synthesis, decomposition, redox and acid-base reactions for quick comparison.
Turn the map into practice
Convert the map into a quiz or flashcards to test recall of equations and definitions.

Understanding Chemical Reaction Maps
A chemical reaction mind map organizes how substances change during a reaction. Reactions divide into main types, such as synthesis, decomposition, single and double displacement, and redox. Each type has its own pattern of reactants and products, and each can be studied through rates, energy changes and equilibrium.
- Reaction types: synthesis, decomposition, displacement and combustion patterns
- Redox reactions: electron transfer, oxidation numbers and oxidizing agents
- Energy changes: exothermic and endothermic reactions and activation energy
- Reaction rates: concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts
- Equilibrium: reversible reactions and how conditions shift the balance
Use the map to revise by tracing one reaction through each branch, from reactants to conditions to products. To build a map from your own chemistry notes, CogniGuide can generate one in minutes.

Chemical Reaction Mind Map Questions
Answers about reaction types and how to build a map from your notes.
What are the main types of chemical reactions?
The main types are synthesis, where substances combine; decomposition, where a compound breaks down; single and double displacement, where elements or ions swap places; and combustion, where a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen, usually releasing heat and light.
What is the difference between an exothermic and an endothermic reaction?
An exothermic reaction releases energy to its surroundings, so the temperature rises. An endothermic reaction absorbs energy from its surroundings, so the temperature falls. Both types depend on the energy needed to break and form bonds.
Which file types can I use to make a reaction map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) files, text or Markdown files, or images of your notes. You can also type a topic such as acid-base reactions.
Can I turn my reaction map into a quiz?
Yes. Once the map is created, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself, and the same notes can become flashcards. The free plan includes 5 creations a week.
