NO. Henri Becquerel was the discoverer of radioactivity.
Pierre and Marie Curie were the first people to discover radioactivity.
The most famous are Henri Becquerel who discovered radioactivity by accident in 1896. Pierre and Marie Curie discovered Radium and Polonium (name given because Marie Curie was Polish) in the early 1900 Christophe
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. 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.
Radioactivity was discovered during 1896 by Henri Becquerel, who was a French scientist when he was working on phosphorescent materials. Other research was done by Becquerel, Ernest Rutherford, Paul Villard, Pierre Curie, Marie Curie, and others afterwards.

No, it was discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie. Other scientists also contributed, such as Henri Bequerel. (Bequerel is the S.I unit for radioactivity). No, Marie Curie discovered and named radioactivity. Sadly her research into radiation caused her death.

Polonium was discovered in 1898 by Marie Curie and Pierre Curie; Pierre and Marie Curie were interested by the new phenomenon of radioactivity.
She discovered radium.
She made a potato soup.
Some famous scientist duos include Marie and Pierre Curie who discovered radioactivity, Watson and Crick who discovered the structure of DNA, and Marie and Pierre Curie who discovered radioactivity.
Pierre and Marie Curie were the first people to discover radioactivity.
Marie Curie (although she did not 'discover radioactivity'; that was Becquerel)
Polonium was discovered in 1898 by Marie Curie and Pierre Curie studying the radioactivity of uranium ores.
Pierre and Marie Curie were instrumental in the discovery of radioactivity, leading to groundbreaking advancements in science and medicine. Their research laid the foundation for the development of modern nuclear physics and the use of radiation in medical treatments. Their work continues to inspire scientists and researchers to this day.
Marie Skłodowska-CurieHope this helped . Megan :)
Marie Curie and her husband Pierre Curie discovered the elements radium and polonium in 1898 through their work on radioactivity. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their discoveries in 1903.
