Frederick Soddy
born Sept. 2, 1877, Eastbourne, Sussex, Eng. died Sept. 22, 1956, Brighton, Sussex British chemist. He worked with Ernest Rutherford to develop a theory of the disintegration of radioactive elements. In 1912 he was among the first to conclude that elements might exist in forms (isotopes) of different atomic weights but indistinguishable chemically. In Science and Life (1920) he pointed out the value of isotopes in determining geologic age (see carbon-14 dating). For his investigations of radioactivity and isotopes, he received a 1921 Nobel Prize
