OTTO HAHN
(8 march 1879-28 july1968) Otto Hahn was a german chemist and a pionner in the feilds of radioactivity
and radiochemistry. He won Noble prize in chemistry in 1994 for the
discovery of nuclear fission. He is regarded as one of the most significant
chemists of all the time and especially as''THE FATHER OF
NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY'' .Otto wanted to become an industrial
chemist. He also completed one year in military services .He recevied is
doctrate in Marbug for classical organic chemistry.
DISCOVERY OF ISOTOPES- Hahn's intention had been to work in industry
Within this in mind,and also to improve his knowledge of English ,he took up a
post at University College London in 1904.Hahn worked on radiochemistry
at that time a very new feild.In 1905 ,in this course of his work with salts
of radium, Hahn discovered a substance he called RADIOTHORIUM(228)
which at that time was believed to be a new radioactive element.
The term isotope was coined in 1913. Hahn worked under Ernest Rutherford
at McGill University in Montreal, Canada where he discovered ThoriumC
Radium D, and radioactinium and investigated the alpha rays of
radiothorium.
DISCOVERY OF MESOTHORIUM- (RA 228)
In 1906 Hahn returned to germany ,where he collaborated with Emil Fischer at
the university of Berlin .in subsequent years mesotherium 1( radium 228)
achieved great importance because like radium 226 it was ideally suited for
use in medical radiation treatment , while costing only half as much to
manufature . In 1914 , for the discovery of mesotherium 1,Otto Hahn
was first nominated for NOBEL PRIZE in CHEMISTRY by Adolf von
Bayer . During his lifetime Hahn was awarded orders, medals, scientific
prizes and fellowship of academics , socities, and institutions from all
over the world.

ACHIEVEMENTS - Otto hahn was awarded by the MAX PLANCK SOCIETY to young scientists and reaserchers in both natural n social sciences . He severed as the first president of the MAX PLANCK SOCIETY from 1948 to 1960.Otto hahn also discovered proatactinium during the first world war.He was transferred to '' HEADQUATERS OF HIS MAJESTY'' in berlin and was able to resume his radioactive research in his institute. he published articles on nuclear fission.
