Together with Ernest Rutherford, English radiochemist Frederick Soddy FRS demonstrated that radioactivity results from the transmutation of elements, which is now understood to include nuclear processes. Additionally, he demonstrated that several radioactive elements had isotopes. "For his contributions to our knowledge of the chemistry of radioactive substances, and his investigations into the origin and nature of isotopes," he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1921. A polymath, Soddy was an expert in economics, chemistry, nuclear physics, statistical mechanics, and finance. View Less
