In addition to discovering radium which other element did the curies discover?
Polonium
Are there any other scientist's who used radium or polonium?
Of course, many scientists worked with radium and polonium.
What is found in the element radium?
Radium is an element; it has no sub-parts. Radium is a radioactive element, so it will slowly and spontaneously decay into other elements.
Does Polonium have ions?
Polonium has 33 isotopes, more than any other element, of which all are radioactive.
What other element is commonly found with Polonium?
this is a guess but beryllium?
Was there girls who found a element?
MMe Marie Curie is credited with two Nobel Prizes and the discovery of Radium and Polonium, the latter named after her native Poland- she was a naturalized French citizen. Some other Female scientist discovered an element in tne thirities but the name escapes me. It might have been Francium ( the element).
What kind of rock is radium found in?
Radium was discovered by Marie Sklodowska Curie, a Polish chemist, and Pierre Curie, a French chemist, in 1898. Marie Curie obtained radium from pitchblende, a material that contains uranium, after noticing that unrefined pitchblende was more radioactive than the uranium that was separated from it. She reasoned that pitchblende must contain at least one other radioactive element. Curie needed to refine several tons of pitchblende in order to obtain tiny amounts of radium and polonium, another radioactive element discovered by Curie. One ton of uranium ore contains only about 0.14 grams of radium. Today, radium can be obtained as a byproduct of refining uranium and is usually sold as radium chloride (RaCl2) or radium bromide (RaBr2) and not as a pure material.
What equipment did Marie Curie use when discovering polonium and radium?
Studying residues of uranium ores Marie Curie and Pierre Curie found that these residues are more radioactive than uranium; they attributed this radioactivity to unknown elements. They isolated these elements and named these elements polonium and radium.
How did pierre and Marie and Pierre Curie discover the presence of radioactive element other than uranium?
Polonium and radium are discovered in wastes from uranium minerals, after uranium separation. The important radioactivity of these residues (without uranium) warned the two about the possible existence of other radioactive elements.
Does radium react with other elements or compounds?
Radium react with halogens (F, Cl, Br, I), N, water, etc.
Is polonium more radioactive than uranium?
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. They are two natural elements, metals, extremely radioactive.
What is the formula of radium polonide?
RaPo is the formula of radium polonide Because Radium is in group two, so loses two electrons as an ion And... Polonium is in group six, so gains two electrons as an ion Therefore... they balance each other out, so you only need one of each. :)
