If $f: [0, 1] \to \mathbb R$ is defined by $() = ^2$, check $f$ is bijective or not?how? I don't think it is onto because 6 doesn't have any pre image but 6 belongs to R

No it's not surjective, to be bijective you need it to be both injective and surjective

surjective $\forall$ y $\exists$ x such that $y=f(x)=x^2$

let $y=-3$ (or y=3) then $x=\sqrt(-3)$ but $\sqrt(-3) \notin [0,1]$

injective $f(x_1)=f(x_2)$ if and only if $x_1=x_2$

since the domain is in [0,1], yes it is
