Find out whether radio button is checked with JQuery?

I can set a radio button to checked fine, but what I want to do is setup a sort of 'listener' that activates when a certain radio button is checked.

Take, for example the following code: 

$("#element").click(function()
{ 
    $('#radio_button').attr("checked", "checked");
});

it adds a checked attribute and all is well, but how would I go about adding an alert. For example, that pops up when the radio button is checked without the help of the click function?

You'd have to bind the click event of the checkbox, as the change event doesn't work in IE.

$('#radio_button').click(function(){
    // if ($(this).is(':checked')) alert('is checked'); 
    alert('check-checky-check was changed');
});

Now when you programmatically change the state, you have to trigger this event also:

$('#radio_button').attr("checked", "checked");
$('#radio_button').click();

jQuery is still popular, but if you want to have no dependencies, see below. Short & clear function to find out if radio button is checked on ES-2015:

function getValueFromRadioButton( name ){
  return [...document.getElementsByName(name)]
         .reduce( (rez, btn) => (btn.checked ? btn.value : rez), null)
}

console.log( getValueFromRadioButton('payment') );
<div>  
  <input type="radio" name="payment" value="offline">
  <input type="radio" name="payment" value="online">
  <input type="radio" name="payment" value="part" checked>
  <input type="radio" name="payment" value="free">
</div>

ULTIMATE SOLUTION Detecting if a radio button has been checked using onChang method JQUERY > 3.6

         $('input[type=radio][name=YourRadioName]').change(()=>{
             alert("Hello"); });

Getting the value of the clicked radio button

 var radioval=$('input[type=radio][name=YourRadioName]:checked').val();

This will work in all versions of jquery.

//-- Check if there's no checked radio button
if ($('#radio_button').is(':checked') === false ) {
  //-- if none, Do something here    
}

To activate some function when a certain radio button is checked.

// get it from your form or parent id
    if ($('#your_form').find('[name="radio_name"]').is(':checked') === false ) {
      $('#your_form').find('[name="radio_name"]').filter('[value=' + checked_value + ']').prop('checked', true);
    }

your html

$('document').ready(function() {
var checked_value = 'checked';
  if($("#your_form").find('[name="radio_name"]').is(":checked") === false) {
      $("#your_form")
        .find('[name="radio_name"]')
        .filter("[value=" + checked_value + "]")
        .prop("checked", true);
    }
  }
)

  <input id="admin" name="radio_name" type="radio" value="not_this_one">
    <label for="admin">Admin</label>
</form>
