Discovery of Radon
Abstract
THE books on radioactivity and physics agree in attributing the discovery of radium emanation to E. or F. Dorn, giving as a reference either Abhl. Naturf. Ges. Halle (1900) or (such as ``Geiger and Scheel'' and ``Wien-Harms'') the same publication, 22, 155 (1900). Mellor adds, ``E. Dorn, Ueber die von radioaktiven Substanzen ausgesandte Emanation, Stuttgart, 1900''. The volume of the Abhandlungen der Naturforschenden Gesellschaft zu Halle mentioned, namely, 22, is dated 1900-1, and p. 155 is in the middle of a long article on the flora of Scandinavia.
