Marie Curie discovered it, @jonsie, been on the telly not too long ago.
Thought we had this one in a thread a while back:
Why are Helium, Curium and Barium known as the medical elements?
Because if you can't helium or curium, you gotta barium!

@Anonymous
Sorry you missed out on getting a Silver Thinker this time.
Chemistry was not my strongest science subject when I was at school and I`m grateful to the quizzers who provided additional info on elements with the letter C 
I hope you like some, if not all, of the questions in today`s White Room Seasonal Quiz 1 on separate thread. Good luck.
