Francium-223 and francium-221 are the only isotopes that occur in nature, with the former being far more common. [ 21 ] Francium-223 is the most stable isotope, with a half-life of 21.8 minutes, [ 8 ] and it is highly unlikely that an isotope of francium with a longer half-life will ever be discovered or synthesized. [ 22 ]
The insoluble compounds are used to extract francium from other radioactive products, such as zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, tin, and antimony, using the method mentioned in the section above. [3] The CsFr molecule is predicted to have francium at the negative end of the dipole, unlike all known heterodiatomic alkali metal molecules.
Francium, formerly known as eka-caesium and actinium K, is a chemical element that has the symbol Fr and atomic number 87. It has the lowest known electronegativity and is the second rarest naturally occurring element (after Astatine). Francium is a highly radioactive metal that decays into astatine, radium, and radon.
I don't know for sure what else was present in the mixture.) Besides the practical use in separating francium from other elements, the fact that it coprecipitated with caesium was part of the evidence that francium was an alkali metal. --Itub 12:36, 11 April 2007 (UTC) Cool. Your example seems better than mine. That makes a lot more sense.
Perey named the element francium, after her home country, and it joined the other alkali metals in Group 1 of the periodic table of elements. [3] [7] Francium is the second rarest element (after astatine) — only about 550g exists in the entire Earth's crust at any given time — and it was the last element to be discovered in nature.
In chemistry, a reactivity series (or reactivity series of elements) is an empirical, calculated, and structurally analytical progression [1] of a series of metals, arranged by their "reactivity" from highest to lowest.
When there is no public data on the element in its pure form, price of a compound is used, per mass of element contained. This implicitly puts the value of compounds' other constituents, and the cost of extraction of the element, at zero.
