When deciding whether or not mistakes are a part to making discoveries‚ the sides are pretty evened out. But with this essay‚ the siding is that mistakes are a key part to making discoveries. Let’s get into it. First off‚ we have an example of the argument. In the article Lost Cities‚ Lost Treasures‚ there is a scholar and businessman known as Heinrich Schliemann. Heinrich is searching for the lost city of Troy. He comes upon a man who owns a presumed site‚ named Frank Calvert‚ who is modest and

Curium is highly radioactive. As a metal‚ it is lustrous and silvery. It is malleable‚ chemically reactive and electropositive. Its surface rapidly oxidizes in air‚ gaining a thin film. Most compounds of trivalent curium are stable and faintly yellow or yellow-green. If absorbed in to the body‚ curium accumulates in the bones. Its radiation destroys red blood cell formation. Consequently‚ curium is considered very toxic. Large quantities of curium are now easily made in nuclear reactors. A nuclear

It all started rather innocently in 1896‚ when Antoine Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity in Uranium. The next step came in 1902 when Marie and Pierre Curie isolated radioactive metal called Radium. In 1934‚ Enrico Fermi of Italy disintegrated heavy atoms by spraying them with neutrons. Unfortunately‚ he didn’t realize that he had achieved nuclear fission‚ In December 1938‚ Otto Hahn and Fritz
