polonium hasn't medical applications.
Radium is sometimes used to treat bones cancers.
Radium was used in the past as a radioactive source in the radiotherapy of some cancers.
Possible use of radium isotopes for the radiotherapy of some cancers.
Polonium and radium's affect on our lives today are for example the meters on our cars, they glow because of the radium and also some wristwatches the light you get when you press the button on the side. Radium was discovered by a woman named Marie Cuire, she's married, but she obviously died because of too much radium.
Polonium and radium are two natural chemical elements, highly radioactive, solid, metals, rare, expensive, dangerous, with some useful applications etc.
she discovered radium along with her husband Pierre
Radium was used in the past for the radiotherapy of some cancers, because radium is radioactive and emit gamma rays (also alpha and beta particles).
Today radium hasn't many important uses: - radium-beryllium neutrons sources - radium solutions as radon source and standards - possible use in the radiotherapy of some cancers
Marie Curie observed that some minerals that contained uranium gave off more radioactivity than pure uranium. Believing that these minerals contained small amounts of other, highly radioactive elements, she began to experiment. Eventually, she discovered the elements which she named radium and polonium.
radium has changed the way we now take controol of cancer treatments and skin damage and polonium is now changing the world on how people use drugs especcially tobacco.polonium= dangeourous and hazardous chamicalradium= chemical less dangeourous than polonium
Polonium applications: - Source of neutrons: as Po-BeO - Radioisotope thermoelectric energy source - Alpha particles source - Brushes with Po to eliminate static charges from different surfaces - Material in radiochemistry studiesRadium applications:- treatment of some cancers- Source of neutrons: as Ra-BeO- Source for industrial radiography
Polonium applications: - Source of neutrons: as Po-BeO - Radioisotope thermoelectric energy source - Alpha particles source - Brushes with Po to eliminate static charges from different surfaces - Material in radiochemistry studiesRadium is used as radioactive source to treat some cancers, in industrial radiography, in Ra-Be neutron sources..
Marie Curie's discovery of radium and polonium paved the way for the development of radiation therapy in medicine, leading to significant advancements in cancer treatment. Her groundbreaking research also influenced the field of nuclear physics and contributed to the understanding of radioactive elements. Additionally, Curie's work revolutionized the way scientists approached the study of radioactivity and led to further discoveries in the field.
