KS3 Science Atoms and Elements quiz

15 Questions

Quiz Description

KS3 quizzes are key stage 3 questions. In this particular quiz, we will be focusing on Atomic science as well as elements. You will find that studying this topic and taking these quizzes could even help society by making them understand how atoms and elements give access to energy and proper medical care, food production, and the management of water resources. This quiz is very essential and will be very helpful to any science student as a whole. 

An atom is the smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that constitutes a chemical element and an element is a substance that cannot be broken down into any other substance. Every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of neutral or ionized atoms. Atoms are extremely small, typically around 100 picometers across. Every element is made up of its own type of atom. This is why the chemical elements are all very different from each other. Everything in the universe contains atoms of at least one or more elements.

This quiz will help kids understand science and nature's existence with respect to atoms and elements, and it opens your mind to greater possibilities as you will be astonished by what you learn.
Good luck!
