How did Marie and Pierre Curie measure the radioactivity of her pitchblende samples? How did she deduce that there must be unknown elements in the pitchblende? What is a nuclei? Asteroids are mainly composed of metals like iron and non-metals like carbon. Briefly explain the differences between...
“Who discovered radioactivity?” The answers to the quiz are actually on the whiteboard in no particular order: Marie Curieetc. This way students have a better chance of guessing the correct answer. I call out the questions to one team at a time. They get one point for the correct answer...
Marie Curie is one of the few notable women in science and is credited with discoveringradioactivity. Her research led to the isolation of two new elements, which she named radium and polonium. She also developed a theory for how atoms break down in radioactive decay, which helped form the ...
death, her contribution to medicine is still being felt. We have no way of knowing when radioactivity would have been brought into the limelight without the tireless work of Marie Curie, but it is clear that her groundbreaking research paved the way for modern medicine to save countless lives....
1.Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal? A. Because she received a degree in mathematics. B. Because she contributed to saving the wounded. C. Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic. D. Because she worked as a helper to her mother. 2.Where did Irene Curie meet her husba...
Her curiosity about pitchblende (the oxide ore of uranium) did not end with the discovery of radioactivity. She observed that theradioactivityshown by the ore was 4 times greater than the level of uranium metal, which meant that something more radioactive was hidden in the ore. ...
The introduction of Ausria-125 was the beginning of an impressive development in virus diagnostics; however the test had one major disadvantage: the radioactivity caused significant difficulties in the normal diagnostic laboratory. It was therefore a big step forward when it became possible to label ...
Marie Curie was a brilliant woman whose research extended into physics, chemistry, and radioactivity. She was a co-winner with her husband on her first Nobel Prize, which made them the first married couple to receive the award. (And she was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize, too!
