Making repeated separations of the various substances in the pitchblende, Marie and Pierre used the Curie electrometer to identify the most radioactive fractions. They thus discovered that two fractions, one containing mostly bismuth and the other containing mostly barium, were strongly radioactive.
<h3>What was surprising about pitchblende?</h3>
Since it was no longer appropriate to call them “uranic rays,” Marie proposed a new name: “radioactivity.”
Even more surprising, Marie next found that a uranium ore called pitchblende contained two powerfully radioactive new elements: polonium, which she named for her native Poland, and radium.
<h3>Why is radium more radioactive than uranium?</h3>
It is 2.7 million times more radioactive than the same molar amount of natural uranium (mostly uranium-238), due to its proportionally shorter half-life.

Answer:
Nuclear fusion plays an important role in making elements that are heavier than helium.
Explanation:
Nucleosynthesis is the process by which new atomic nuclei are created from pre-existing nucleons (protons and neutrons) and nuclei. According to current theories, the first nuclei were formed a few minutes after the Big Bang, through nuclear reactions in a process called Big Bang nucleosynthesis.
In order to synthesize a new element, there must be a change in the number of protons. We should remember that elements are known by the number of their protons as it represents their atomic number.
Elements heavier than helium are formed by nuclear nucleosynthesis in which nuclear fusion plays a very crucial role as typified by the equations shown in the question.
According to provided equation it is clear that Zn metal is oxidized from Zn⁰ into Zn²⁺ which means that Zn metal dissolves and forming Zn²⁺ solution so the correct answer is:
mass of the Zn(s) electrode decreases
