The element, Meitnerium, was named after her.
She had seven siblings.
She was the first woman to be awarded for her skills in physics at the University of Berlin.
Her cousin, Otto Hahn, took all the credit for her findings.
Lise Meitner worked with the Atom Splitter which she and her cousin, Otto Hahn, used to release neutrons to various atoms in the Periodic Table of Elements.
While Meitner and Hahn were using the atom splitter to split the Uranium atom, they noticed that it was giving off radioactive energy. Later on in their experiment, they came to the decision that the cause for the radioactive energy was that Uranium isotope had an unstable structure. The two scientists decided to call this process fission.
Later Hahn and Fritz Strassman got the element barium after using the atom splitter on Uranium and contacted for Meitner’s help …show more content…
When the neutron attacks the nucleus, more neutrons break away from the original nucleus, releasing energy and attacking other nuclei, creating a chain reaction called nuclear fission.
This discovery of nuclear fission was significant because the conclusion contradicted scientists all over the world and because it made a nuclear reactor possible. This means that bomb that could destroy everything was now
