Nuclear Chemistry

In 1896, French scientist Henri Becquerel made a revolutionary discovery while experimenting with uranium. He intended to investigate whether uranium emitted X-rays but stumbled upon a new phenomenon: rays that had never been detected before. This unexpected finding led to the foundation of nuclear chemistry and the study of radioactivity, opening the door to advancements in science that would change our understanding of atomic structure and energy. Becquerel's contributions laid the groundwork for future innovations in medicine, energy, and physics.
