Answer 1

B. They came up with the term “radioactivity.”

C. They conducted experiments with uranium-containing minerals and pure uranium.

E. They discovered two new radioactive elements

Answer 2

They came up with the term “radioactivity.”

They conducted experiments with uranium-containing minerals and pure uranium.

They discovered two new radioactive elements.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the radioactivity is discovered by Marie and Curie and as per the experimental verification of the theory given by them we can say that rate of decay of a radioactive sample is directly proportional to the number of the radioactive same present at that time.

So it is given as

`(dN)/(dt) = -\lambda N`

so here they also discovered two new radioactive substance apart from all the experiments related to the Uranium
