Owens and a British scientist named Ernest Rutherford, noticed the radioactivity of thorium compounds could be blow away by a breeze. Radon 219 on the other hand was found by German scientist Friedrich O. Geisel in 1904. ]]> 2022-03-10 19:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hayess11/vw3sv8fz8jidjn2x/wish/2089065943 hayess11 https://padlet.com/hayess11/vw3sv8fz8jidjn2x/wish/2089069414 Today because Radons highly radioactive properties we use Radon for chemotherapy uses.
