Following are the equations of several nuclear reactions that have important roles in the history of nuclear chemistry: 1  The first naturally occurring unstable element that was isolated, polonium, was discovered by the Polish scientist Marie Curie and her husband Pierre in 1898. It decays, emitting Î± particles:
A nuclide (from nucleus) is an atomic species characterized by the specific constitution of its nucleus, i.e., by its number of protons Z, its number of neutrons N, and its nuclear energy state. The word nuclide was proposed by Truman P. Kohman in 1947. Kohman originally suggested nuclide as referring to a species of nucleus defined by containing a certain number of neutrons and protons. The word thus was originally intended to focus on the nucleus.
