About radioactivity and radiation quizzes
GoConqr OriginalRadioactivity and radiation quizzes
The quizzes offer different ways to check your understanding of this unit. Radiation - Alpha, Beta, Gamma asks about the properties of radiation and what ionising means. IGCSE Radioactivity Quiz includes questions on emission products and readings taken over time. Other quizzes cover isotopes, fission and fusion.
How to use them
Start with P6 (Foundation bits) if you want questions on the types of ionising radiation and their properties. For practice with calculations, try Half Life, which asks what fraction of atoms remains after a given time.
Work through a quiz and note the questions you find difficult. You can then return to those questions or choose another quiz on the same topic. If you want to review an idea before trying again, switch to a mind map on the unit page. Pick a topic and see which questions you can answer.
Frequently asked questions
Which quiz should I start with?
P6 (Foundation bits) is a useful starting point for questions on radioactive elements, isotopes and the types of ionising radiation. If you want to focus on calculations instead, Half Life asks about the fraction of atoms that has not decayed after a given time.
Are these quizzes free to use?
Yes. Every quiz listed here is free to open, study and take without an account. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. The quizzes were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr.
Which courses do these quizzes suit?
Most of the quizzes are at school level, and the listed titles include IGCSE and GCSE resources. IGCSE Radioactivity Quiz asks about radioactive emissions, while SP6 - Pearson Edexcel GCSE includes questions on Rutherford’s picture of the atom. Teachers can also use the questions as ready-made material.
