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 elements did Marie Curie discovered?

She discovered the elements Polonium, which was named after her homeland, and radium. Polonium is 4x more radioactive than uranium and radium is 10x more radioactive than uranium.


Which element is more radioactive and explosive uranium or polonium?

Polonium is more radioactive than uranium, as it emits alpha particles that are highly energetic. However, uranium is more explosive due to its ability to undergo fission reactions, which release a large amount of energy quickly.


What is more radioactive than pure uranium?

Many radioactive isotopes are more radioactive than the naturally occurring uranium isotopes:All fission product isotopes are more radioactive (e.g. iodine-131, strontium-90)Most radioactive isotopes in the uranium --> lead decay chain are more radioactive (e.g. radium, radon, polonium)Plutonium is more radioactiveTritium is more radioactiveCarbon-14 is more radioactiveArtificially produced uranium isotopes are more radioactive (e.g. uranium-233, uranium-236)etc.


When and how polonium was discovered?

How much more active is polonium than uranium?

Polonium is more radioactive than uranium as it emits alpha particles at a much higher rate. Polonium-210, for example, has a half-life of only 138 days compared to billions of years for some isotopes of uranium.


How did Pierre and Marie Curie discovered the presence of radioactive elements 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.
