Who came up with the radium and polonium idea?
Polonium was discovered by Marie Curie and Pierre Curie in 1898.Radium was discovered by Marie Curie, Pierre Curie and G. Bemont also in 1898.
Were did Marie curie do her invention?
she came up with this invention called a radium she came p with it with concentration and hard work.
How did Marie Curie improve the world of science?
She found out many things in science like, she found out two new elements in the periodic table. She soon became famous and scientists all over the world came to visit her.
What element was named by Pierre and Marie Cure that win nobel prize for chemistry in 1903?
They did not discover any in 1903, but they discovered polonium in 1898 and radium in 1898 as well. polonium came first, and the award was for polonium, i think. Hope this helps!
Who was the woman who discovered Radium?
Marie Curie also discovered polonium. Her husband Pierre helped in the investigation also. She started off by studying a variety of chemical compounds that contained uranium. She discovered that the strength of the rays that came out depended only on the amount of uranium in the compound. It had nothing to do with whether the material was solid or powdered, dry or wet, pure or combined with other chemical elements. If you had a certain amount of uranium a certain number of uranium atoms-then you got a certain intensity of radiation. Nothing else made a difference. The Nobel Prize in Physics 1903 was divided, one half awarded to Antoine Henri Becquerel "in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by his discovery of spontaneous radioactivity",the other half jointly to Pierre Curie and Marie Curie.
What country of origin was Marie curie?
Marie Curie came from Poland. Then, later she moved to France. She came from a very poor family, so she had a struggle trying to go through school and college.
How old was Marie curie when she came famous?
because she was fat
What ideas came from Marie Curie's discovery?
the answer of this ques tion i donot know
What is meant by the term 'radio active'?
The term radio active came from the dangerous elements like Plutonium, Uranium, Radium and Caesium. These elements produces extreme heat and radioactivity. When exposed to these elements, one may get cancer problems. Pierre and Marie Curie discovered Radium but due to constant exposure to the element, they died of cancer. Plutonium and Uranium are used to produce atomic energy.
What was Marie Curie's contribution to science?
Marie Curie was a Polish-born physicist and chemist best known for her pioneering work with radioactivity in France alongside her husband, the French physicist Pierre Curie. Although not the one to discover the phenomenon, Marie Curie was the first to coin the term "radioactivity." The Curies were the first to discover and isolate the element Polunium, so named by Marie in honor of her birth country. They also discovered Radium along with developing a method for isolating radioactive isotopes. Madame Curie developed and supervise the first radiation treatments for tumors, and during World War I established the first field radiology labs with mobile X-Ray machines of her design. To accomplish all this, both Marie and her husband worked long hours teaching to afford the cost of their research - Marie herself was the first female professor at the University of Paris. Curie is remembered as a humble woman highly regarded by her peers; her work in the fields of physics did not go unnoticed. In addition to a number of honorary degrees, awards and publications, Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, an honor she shared with her husband for their work in Physics in 1903. She is also the only woman to ever win the Nobel Prize twice: she earned one for her work in Chemistry in 1911. Winning in both Chemistry AND Physics also makes her the only person to ever have been awarded the prize in two different subjects. One sad irony about Marie's life, and something for which she is known nearly as well as the discoveries already noted, is that she essentially died from overexposure to radiation - many speculate it was from her work with the field X-Ray machines during WWI, but it's likely a combination of all her time spent working with radioactive materials ... never realizing the powerful dangers that came with the powerful possibilities radioactive materials offer.
What amazing things did Marie curie do?
one that i recall (unless I'm wrong) she and her husband came up with the X-ray tube.
Did Marie Curie work with another scientist?
NO, madame Marie curie and Henri becquerel did not ever work together. She discovered that he knew about the rays that came from uranium. Therefore she wanted to discover more about it then he did. during her journey she met Pierre Curie, in 1873 they got married and had their honeymoon in Paris, France. She knew about him, and looked up to him as her idol for scientific discoveries for her future. but they never met nor, worked together.
