Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is radioactive decay?

  1. Nuclear fusion
  2. Combustion
  3. A chemical reaction
  4. The spontaneous and random emission of radiation from unstable nuclei
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: DThe spontaneous and random emission of radiation from unstable nuclei
Radioactive decay is random (cannot predict which nucleus decays next) and spontaneous (happens without external input). The nucleus emits alpha, beta, or gamma radiation to become more stable.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is an alpha particle?

  1. An electron
  2. A helium nucleus (2 protons + 2 neutrons)
  3. A gamma ray
  4. A neutron
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BA helium nucleus (2 protons + 2 neutrons)
Alpha particle: 2 protons + 2 neutrons (helium-4 nucleus). Charge: +2. Mass: 4. Stopped by paper. Most ionising but least penetrating.

Edexcel GCSE Combined Science (Double Award): Physics: Particle Model and Radioactivity FAQ

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