Professor And you know, here’s an incredible irony. Ida Tacke, the chemist who led the masurium team … well, she was the first to suggest that uranium could break up into smaller pieces. But she didn’t know that that was the defense of her own discovery of element 43!

What does the professor imply about the chemist Ida Tacke when he says this: Professor But she didn’t know that that was the defense of her own discovery of element 43!

She did not realize that the periodic table predicted the radioactivity of element 43.

She did not understand why her team’s findings were dismissed by the scientific community

Her theory about uranium would have explained the presence of element 43 in her team’s ore sample.

Her theory about uranium would have explained the errors that created element 43 in a cyclotron.
