1921+Soddy

Frederick Soddy was a scientist who studied isotopes. He grew up in **** Eastbourne ****, **** England **** in 1877. He went to school at the ** [|University College of Wales at Aberystwyth] and at [|Merton College Oxford], UK in 1898-1900. In 1908 he married his wife Winifred Beilby. During the 1900s he was a instructor in [|chemistry] at [|McGill University] in [|Montreal], [|Quebec] , [|Canada]. Here at the university, he worked with Rutherford on radioactivity. Frederick Soddy worked with Williams Ramsay at the University College of London where they discover that the decay of radium produces a particle of helium. 1904 to 1914 Frederick worked at the University of Glasgow where he proved that uranium decomposes into radium. He also showed that radioactive elements may have more than one atomic mass through chemical properties called Isotopes. Margaret Todd suggested to Soddy, Isotopes meaning the “same place”. Frederick wrote a book called “__The Interpretation of Radium__”(1909) and the “__Atomic Transmutation__”(1953). In 1921 Frederick Soddy won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, for his work on radioactive decay and particularly for his formulation of the theory of isotopes. Isotopes have never been discredited or proved wrong sense there discovery in the 1910s. All information was taken from __Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia.__ //-Bryce Akers//
