Otto Hahn was a great scientist that did multiple things to advance the scientific field. Otto Hahn was born March 8, 1879 and died on July 28, 1968. In his early years he was debating being an architect but later went on to become a German chemist. Hahn attended the University of Marburg and recieved his doctorate degree in 1901. He served one year in the military. In 1904, he went to London to learn English and ended up working at the University College. At University College, Hahn ended up working with physical chemisist Sir William Ramsay. Ramsay gave Hahn crude radium to purify.

Otto Hahn was a German chemist who discovered fission, fission is the action of dividing or splitting something into two or more parts. When Hahn discovered nuclear fission he unintentionally discovered how to create an atomic bomb. Hahn discovered nuclear fission by having a speed neutron hit a uranium atom, the uranium atom spit. When the speeding neutron hit the nucleus of the uranium atom the atom stretched until it split. Before this, Niels Bohr had a theory that a nucleus must be “like…
