Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student at a secondary school in Barbados was investigating the structure of atoms. She learned that atoms contain three types of subatomic particles. Which of the following particles has NO electrical charge?

  1. Neutron
  2. Electron
  3. Ion
  4. Proton
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — Neutron
Award 1 mark for identifying neutron as having no charge. D is incorrect because protons carry a positive charge. B is incorrect because electrons carry a negative charge. C is incorrect because an ion is a charged atom, not a subatomic particle.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the specific latent heat of fusion of a substance?

  1. The heat needed to change 1 kg of a solid to liquid at constant temperature
  2. The total heat released when any amount of liquid freezes
  3. The heat needed to change 1 kg of liquid to gas at constant temperature
  4. The heat needed to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1°C
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — The heat needed to change 1 kg of a solid to liquid at constant temperature
Specific latent heat of fusion is defined as the heat energy required to change 1 kg of a substance from solid to liquid at constant temperature. No temperature change occurs during this process. Option C describes specific latent heat of vaporisation instead.

CXC CSEC Physics: Atomic and Nuclear Physics FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Physics?
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 Atomic and Nuclear Physics practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC 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 Atomic and Nuclear Physics questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC 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 CXC.
How is Atomic and Nuclear Physics typically tested on CXC CSEC Physics papers?
Atomic and Nuclear Physics appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Physics 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.
