Why are the elements Francium and Astatine so rare? Why does it deteriorate so quickly? Any other interesting Francium or Astatine trivia?
In: Chemistry
Francium is very radioactive and has a 22 minute half life. That means every day a given sample halves itself 65 times and you’re left with 1/(2^65 ) as much as you had yesterday.
That’s roughly 1/32,000,000,000,000,000,000th.
