Marie Curie How were the elements of the periodic table discovered? Who discovered them? These are questions that some people may ask. Marie Curie and her husband‚ Pierre Curie‚ were two scientists that discovered two elements of the periodic table‚ polonium and radium. She and her husband worked all of their lives to understand radium and radioactivity. When something is radioactive‚ it produces radiation‚ which is moving subatomic particles.The interesting thing is‚ that radium‚ what Marie Curie

TRAN HUE CHI Girl power! Boys and girls are co-existent in this world. They both have their own potential to make changes to our world. Boys (men) with their strength can do many masculine tasks which are usually considered important and crucial. Therefore‚ they are dominant to girls in many positions. Girls are believed to have less power and abilities than boys. However‚ as the new 21st century has begun‚ this perception changes. Girls (later are women) in have more power. They can do many things

Breaking the Glass “Feminist: someone who advocates the social‚ political‚ legal‚ and economic rights for women equal to those of men.”1 This is the 21st Century. A time when women and men compete for commercial‚ economic‚ social and political power. But the fight is not fair. The modern woman remains subjected to an intolerable level of inequality. No matter how hard we try to conceal this‚ it remains apparent in today’s society. The number of women working in industries such as engineering was

gender‚ race‚ social class‚ and overall appearance. Marie Curie is remembered and praised as one of the greatest scientists of all time for her discovery of radioactivity. However‚ she had to work extra hard to even be considered a scientist due to her being a lower- class woman who lacked the opportunities that her peers received. Her colleagues’ prejudice caused them to degrade her ideas and even work against her for a long period of time. Marie Curie went on to make great strides in the scientific

Dimitri Mendeleev created a chart using John Dalton’s work consisting of elements and atoms‚ later on called the Periodic Table. Marie Curie and her husband‚ Pierre Curie found two missing elements of the table‚ radium and polonium. These discoveries caused more debates‚ opening a wider range of scientific answers to previously thought correct studies. The theories drove more scholars to observe
