fell under its wheels and killed as his skull had been fractured. Eight years later‚ in 1911‚ Marie received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry “in recognition of her services to the advancement of chemistry by the discovery of the elements radium and polonium‚ by the isolation of radium and the study of the nature and compounds of this remarkable element." Due to her long-term exposure to radiation‚ on 4 July 1934‚ Marie died at the Sancellemoz Sanatorium in Haute-Savoie‚ eastern France‚ from aplastic

Marie Curie LIFE OF MARIE CURIE Marie Curie(1867-1934) was a French physicist with many accomplishments in both physics and chemistry. Marie and her husband Pierre‚ who was also a French physicist‚ are both famous for their work in radioactivity. Marie Curie‚ originally named Marja Sklodowska‚ was born in Warsaw‚ Poland on Nov.7‚ 1867. Her first learning of physics came from her father who taught it in high school. Marie’s father must have taught his daughter well because in 1891‚ she went

Over the years psychologists have categorized many models of success. We are going to focus on three models of success. In Jonah Lehrers article "The Secret of Self-Control" he describes the principals of high and low delayers. High delayers are more successful‚ have higher SAT scores‚ have better self control‚ and can focus on long term goals. Low delayers on the other hand take longer to succeed‚ have lower SAT scores‚ struggle with self control‚ have trouble paying attention‚ and have problems

Metalloids are the elements that touch the zigzag line with the exception of aluminum and polonium‚ and they have combination of properties of both metals and nonmetals – that is why they are located between the two groups. They cannot be identified either as a metal or a nonmetal. 4. What happens to the reactivity level of elements as you go
