Introduction
Marie Curie’s work and achievements on radioactivity have impacted and benefited the world in numerous ways. Marie Curie’s contributions have led to many important discoveries in the scientific world. Marie Curie was most famous for her remarkable work in radioactivity. Due to her great effort in discovering two radioactive elements, Marie Curie received a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911. The Nobel Prize is a prize that is annually awarded every year to people with outstanding achievements. Marie Curie was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and the first person who was honoured with two Nobel Prizes, one in physics and one in chemistry. To prove the importance of her work, Marie Curie received 15 gold medals, 19 degrees, and a Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry. The Nobel Prize was named after Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Prize Ceremony.

Ernest went to Government schools as a child. At the age of sixteen Ernest Rutherford went to Nelson Collegiate School and obtained a scholarship. Ernest Rutherford went to the University of New Zealand. Ernest Rutherford's early research was on magnetic properties, but then Ernest Rutherford moved to nuclear chemistry. Frederick Soddy and Ernest Rutherford both looked into the ‘Disintegration theory” of radioactivity. Ernest Rutherford researched the properties of radium and alpha rays. Ernest Rutherford accomplished making a nitrogen nuclei turn into an oxygen nuclei, by the transmutation of alpha particles. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1908 was awarded to Ernest Rutherford "for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive
