Description
It is shown how the discovery between 1900 and 1904 of X-compounds formed in the decay of uranium, thorium and actinium led to the recognition of the basic laws of radioactive transformations, to the origin of radioactive emanations and active deposits and to the definitive proof of transmutation.
