The chemical effect of a nuclear transformation was observed by Ssilard and Chalmers in 1934. They irradiated liquid ethyl iodide with neutrons and found that radioactive iodine could be extracted into water. The effect was attributed to the rupture of the carbon-iodine bond by the mechanical recoil imparted to the iodine nucleus by the incident neutron. Subsequently, Fermi et al. The chemical behavior of the atoms that have undergone nuclear transformations are as yet imperfectly understood.
