A beta decay mode has been found for all other astatine isotopes except for 212-216 At and their isomers. [5] [1] Among other isotopes: astatine-210 and the lighter isotopes decay by positron emission; astatine-217 and the heavier isotopes undergo beta decay; and astatine-211 decays by electron capture instead. [5]
Structure of astatine monoiodide, one of the astatine interhalogens and the heaviest known diatomic interhalogen. Astatine is known to react with its lighter homologs iodine, bromine, and chlorine in the vapor state; these reactions produce diatomic interhalogen compounds with formulas AtI, AtBr, and AtCl. [4]
Astatine is the rarest naturally occurring element. [j] The total amount of astatine in the Earth's crust (quoted mass 2.36 × 10 25 grams) [108] is estimated by some to be less than one gram at any given time. [8] Other sources estimate the amount of ephemeral astatine, present on earth at any given moment, to be up to one ounce [109] (about ...

Organoastatine chemistry describes the synthesis and properties of organoastatine compounds, chemical compounds containing a carbon to astatine chemical bond. Astatine is extremely radioactive, with the longest-lived isotope (210 At) having a half-life of only 8.1 hours. Consequently, organoastatine chemistry can only be studied by tracer ...
In chemistry, isomers are molecules or polyatomic ions with identical molecular formula – that is, the same number of atoms of each element – but distinct arrangements of atoms in space. [1] Isomerism refers to the existence or possibility of isomers. Isomers do not necessarily share similar chemical or physical properties.
Astatine iodide is an interhalogen compound with the chemical formula At I. It is the second heaviest known interhalogen compound, after iodine tribromide . Production
