Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which particle is emitted during alpha decay?

  1. A helium-4 nucleus
  2. A high-energy electron
  3. A high-energy photon
  4. A neutron
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: AA helium-4 nucleus
An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, identical to a helium-4 nucleus. Alpha decay reduces the atomic number by 2 and the mass number by 4. It is not an electron, photon, or neutron.

AQA GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy): Physics: Atomic Structure FAQ

How many AQA GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy) questions on Physics: Atomic Structure are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 60 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Physics: Atomic Structure for AQA GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy), with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real AQA paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for AQA GCSE students preparing for Combined Science (Trilogy)?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Physics: Atomic Structure practice with other Combined Science (Trilogy) topics or even switch to a totally different AQA subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Physics: Atomic Structure questions aligned to the official AQA GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy) syllabus?
Every question is written against the published AQA GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy) specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real AQA paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from AQA.
How is Physics: Atomic Structure typically tested on AQA GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy) papers?
Physics: Atomic Structure appears across multiple question types on real AQA GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy) papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
