B+Marie+Curie

 =__Isotope and Radioactivity__ = = = =Name of radioactive isotope/electromagnetic radiation/scientist:  = =Marie Sklodowska was born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7, 1867. She was generally educated in local schools and received some scientific training from her father. In 1891, she went to Paris to continue her studies at the Sorbonne where she obtained Licenciateships in Physics and the Mathematical Sciences. In 1894, Marie met Pierre Curie, who was a Professor in the School of Physics. Later on, in 1895, she married Pierre and had two daughters. = =Explanation of interesting facts: (how used/works.experiments/discoveries)= =3 Advantages of using the radioactive isotope/radiation/benefits of discovery= =3 Disadvantages of using the radioactive isotope/radiation/discovery:=
 * Won a Nobel prize along with husband Pierre for physics in 1903 and then won a second Nobel prize for chemistry in 1911.
 * Marie and Pierre discovered polonium and radium from the mineral pitchblende. 
 * the world's first studies conducted into the treatment of neoplasms(cancers) using radioactive isotopes were done under her direction.
 * Invented mobile radiography units to help soldiers during the war.
 * Marie Curie was the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne (in Paris) and the first woman to win a Nobel prize for physics.
 * founded a Radium Institute (presently known as Marie Sklodowska-Curie Institute of Oncology) in her home town.
 * Discovered that radiation did indeed come from the atom itself rather than an interaction between molecules.
 * Discovered two elements polonium and radium which were otherwise unknown to the world.
 * people know what radioactivity does where as then no one had any clue.
 * died due to leukemia caused by unknown effects of radiation in 1934.
 * all her notebooks are very highly radioactive therefore, are kept in lead boxes.

= = =Is the radioactive isotope/radiation/discovery still used today? Explain.=
 * <span style="color: #1388e7; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">could have discovered many other things about radioactivity if she had lived longer.

//<span style="color: #13e727; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">“We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for humanity.” <span style="color: #ff00e5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">~Marie Curie //

= <span style="color: #1388e7; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 169%;">Yes, because radiation is still used today as a treatment for cancer, illnesses, diseases, to produce electricity, and etc. Also, because of Marie Curie's discoveries people know more about radioactivity which was not known back then. Therefore, people know not to be anywhere near radioactive materials depending on what it is. <span style="color: #1388e7; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">     = =Referen​ces=
