who discovered Redium?

Answer 1

Radium (Latin radius, ray) was discovered by Maria Skłodowska-Curie and her husband Pierre in 1898 in pitchblende/uraninite from North Bohemia (area around Jáchymov). While studying pitchblende the Curies removed uranium from it and found that the remaining material was still radioactive. They then separated out a radioactive mixture mostly consisting of barium which gave a brilliant red flame color and spectral lines which had never been documented before. In 1902 radium was isolated into its pure metal by Curie and Andre Debierne through the electrolysis of a pure radium chloride solution by using a mercury cathode and distilling in an atmosphere of hydrogen gas.

On February 4, 1936 radium E became the first radioactive element to be made synthetically.

During the 1930s it was found that worker exposure to radium by handling luminescent paints caused serious health effects which included sores, anemia and bone cancer. This use of radium was stopped soon afterward. This is because radium is treated as calcium by the body, and deposited in the bones, where radioactivity degrades marrow, and can mutate bone cells. Handling of radium has since been blamed for Marie Curie's premature death.

Answer 3

Working with her husband, Pierre Curie, French physicist Marie Curie discovered the radioactive elements polonium and radium in 1898. The couple won a Nobel Prize for their efforts, making Marie Curie the first woman ever to win the award. In 1911 she won an unprecedented second Nobel Prize for further work on radioactive compounds.

Answer 4

The element that I think you are asking about is spelled "radium". Radium was discovered by Madame Marie Sklodowska Curie. She was sometimes called by the nickname Manya by those closest to her. She was born on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland. She and her husband Pierre first isolated Radium in December of 1897 after having Isolated the element Polonium in July by developing a process for gradually breaking pitchblende into component elements.

Answer 5

Marie Curie and her husband did a lot of work with radium. Their contriubutions to the understanding of radiactivity and the nature of the atom was so great that the science community named element #96 after them-- curium.

Answer 6

Marie Curie and her husband Pierre did a lot of work with radium.

Answer 7

That would be radium...Marie Curie and her husband.
