Title: The Life and Achievements of Marie Curie

Marie Curie, born Maria Skłodowska in Warsaw, Poland, in 1867, was a renowned chemist and physicist. She is best known for her groundbreaking research on radioactivity, which earned her two Nobel Prizes and made her the first woman to win this prestigious award. Let’s delve into the remarkable life of this trailblazing scientist.

  1. What was Marie Curie’s birth name? a) Marie Skłodowska b) Maria Curie c) Marie Curie-Skłodowska d) Maria Skłodowska

Marie Curie’s passion for science began at an early age. Despite facing numerous obstacles as a woman in a male-dominated field, she pursued her education relentlessly. In 1891, she moved to Paris to study physics and mathematics at the Sorbonne University.

  1. Where did Marie Curie study physics and mathematics? a) Warsaw University b) Cambridge University c) Sorbonne University d) Oxford University

In 1895, Curie married Pierre Curie, a fellow scientist who shared her passion for research. Together, they embarked on a journey to investigate the mysterious phenomenon of radioactivity. Their groundbreaking work led to the discovery of two new elements: polonium and radium.

  1. What did Marie Curie and Pierre Curie discover? a) Radioactivity b) Electromagnetism c) Gravity d) X-rays

In 1903, Marie Curie became the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize in Physics, jointly awarded with her husband and physicist Henri Becquerel. This recognition was a testament to her exceptional contributions to the field of science.

  1. What was Marie Curie’s first Nobel Prize awarded for? a) Chemistry b) Physics c) Medicine d) Mathematics

Tragedy struck in 1906 when Pierre Curie died in a tragic accident. Despite her immense grief, Marie Curie continued her research and teaching at the Sorbonne University. In 1911, she received her second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, for her discovery of radium and polonium.

  1. What happened to Pierre Curie in 1906? a) He won a Nobel Prize. b) He died in an accident. c) He retired from science. d) He divorced Marie Curie.

Marie Curie’s relentless dedication to her work and her groundbreaking discoveries revolutionized the field of chemistry and paved the way for future scientific advancements. She became an inspiration for women around the world, proving that gender should never be a barrier to pursuing one’s dreams.

  1. What did Marie Curie’s discoveries revolutionize? a) Biology b) Chemistry c) Astronomy d) Geology

Marie Curie’s legacy continues to inspire scientists and researchers to this day. Unfortunately, her extensive exposure to radiation during her experiments led to her untimely death in 1934. However, her contributions to science and her indomitable spirit will forever be remembered.

  1. How did Marie Curie die? a) Old age b) Radiation exposure c) Illness d) Car accident

Answers: 1. d) Maria Skłodowska 2. c) Sorbonne University 3. a) Radioactivity 4. b) Physics 5. b) He died in an accident. 6. b) Chemistry 7. b) Radiation exposure
