  2. Frederick Soddy FRS (2 September 1877 – 22 September 1956) was an English radiochemist who explained, with Ernest Rutherford, that radioactivity is due to the transmutation of elements, now known to involve nuclear reactions. He also proved the existence of isotopes of certain radioactive elements.

  3. Frederick Soddy. Frederick Soddy (1877 – 1956), a chemist whose pioneering discoveries founded the fledgling science of nuclear chemistry, proved that the newly observed phenomenon of radioactivity arose from decay. He also demonstrated that some elements possess isotopes.

  4. Apr 23, 2021 · This is how New Zealand physicist Ernest Rutherford and his colleague Englishman Frederick Soddy reacted to the surprising result of a series of careful experiments conducted in 1901 at McGill University in Montreal (Canada).

  5. Frederick Soddy, a British chemist, won the 1921 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his contributions to the knowledge of the chemistry of radioactive substances and his investigations into the origin and nature of isotopes. In 1913, he was the first to announce the concept that atoms can be identical chemically and yet have different atomic weights.
