Question 3 • GA-GSE Physical Science A

What was the commonality between Becquerel and the Curies in terms of their work?

Answer
A
polonium
B
radium
C
uranium
D
cesium

Explanation

Becquerel discovered that uranium salts emitted radiation. Marie and Pierre Curie also studied uranium’s radiation while investigating radioactive materials, so uranium was the common link in their work. Polonium and radium were elements the Curies discovered, not the shared focus with Becquerel.
