Respuesta :

B. They came up with the term “radioactivity.”

C. They conducted experiments with uranium-containing minerals and pure uranium.

E. They discovered two new radioactive elements

Answer:

They came up with the term “radioactivity.”

They conducted experiments with uranium-containing minerals and pure uranium.

They discovered two new radioactive elements.

Explanation:

As we know that the radioactivity is discovered by Marie and Curie and as per the experimental verification of the theory given by them we can say that rate of decay of a radioactive sample is directly proportional to the number of the radioactive same present at that time.

So it is given as

[tex]\frac{dN}{dt} = -\lambda N[/tex]

so here they also discovered two new radioactive substance apart from all the experiments related to the Uranium
