Marie Curie’s Discovery Of Polonium

Initially during on research Marie and Pierre Curie discovered an element called "Radium F". Radium F was later named after Marie Curie's native land of Poland . Poland at the time was under Russian , Prussian , and Austrian partition , and did not exist as an independent country . Element Polonium was the first element discovered by the Curies while they were finding out the cause of pitchblende radioactivity . The pitchblende ore , after removal of the radioactive elements uranium and thorium , was found to be more radioactive than both the uranium and thorium together . This intrigued the Curies on to find additional radioactive elements. The Curies first separated out polonium from the pitchblende , and then within a few years, also isolated radium.
