At that time‚ there were many people disapprove of Mrs. Curie. Although she got over hundreds of difficulties‚ she still believed in herself and never gave up. Finally‚ she succeeded to discover radium. She proved that she was right by her continuous hard work and her strong spirit. We should learn from Mrs. Curie. She

When thinking about how far we’ve come from the older cancer treatments like radium or even believing that there is no treatment‚ to Eric Schuetz running a half marathon a decade after treatment is astonishing. Although we have not quite found a cure yet‚

odorless‚ tasteless noble gas‚ occurring naturally as the decay product of uranium. Radon is a gas produced by the radioactive decay of the element radium. Radioactive decay is a natural‚ spontaneous process in which an atom of one element decays or breaks down to form another element by losing atomic particles (protons‚ neutrons‚ or electrons). When solid radium decays to form radon gas‚ it loses two protons and two neutrons. These two protons and two neutrons are called an alpha particle‚ which is a type

1903‚ and following the tragic death of Pierre Curie in 1906‚ she took his place as Professor of General Physics in the Faculty of Sciences‚ the first time a woman had held this position. She was also appointed Director of the Curie Laboratory in the Radium Institute of the University of Paris‚ founded in 1914. The importance of Curie’s work is reflected in the numerous awards she had earned on her. She received many honorary science‚ medicine and law degrees and honorary memberships of learned societies

Famous French People Claude Monet (1840-1926) Monet was born on November 14‚ 1840 in Paris. He was the second son of Claude-Adolphe and Louise-Justine Aubrée Monet‚ both of them second-generation Parisians. In 1851‚ Monet entered the Le Havre secondary school of the arts. He first became known locally for his charcoal caricatures‚ which he would sell for ten to twenty francs. On the beaches of Normandy in about 1856/1857 he met fellow artist Eugène Boudin who became his mentor and taught him

Disadvantages 1) Uranium Waste- The chief danger lies with the mining waste; it contains radium‚ which is highly radioactive. Radon gas (one of the products that occur after radium undergoes radioactive decay) can expose workers and nearby and nearby communities to an array of health risks like lung cancer‚ bone cancer and lymphoma. 2) The energy source for nuclear energy is Uranium

Some of the greatest medical advancements in the modern age involve the use of many different types of radiation. Radiation therapy is used in treating multiple different types of cancer‚ and radiation from certain elements are put in X-ray tubes to save countless lives and prevent permanent injury wherever possible. Many organisations also use it for security‚ as well as the general use in the everyday home. These advancements and many more were based on the work of Marie Curie‚ renowned female
