    The phenomenon of radioactivity was discovered by:

    A)  Henry Becquerrel

    B)  Madam Curie

    C)  P. Curie

    D)  Rutherford

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The protons and neutrons in the unstable nucleus regroup to give the new nucleons of another element. This causes the release of excess particles and energy from the original nucleus, which we call radiation. The elements whose atomic nucleus emits radiation are said to be radioactive. The spontaneous phenomenon is called radio-activity. It was first discovered by Henry Becquerral in 1896, while working with Uranium.
