Astatine has 23 nuclear isomers (nuclei with one or more nucleons – protons or neutrons – in an excited state). A nuclear isomer may also be called a " meta -state"; this means the system has more internal energy than the " ground state " (the state with the lowest possible internal energy), making the former likely to decay into the latter.
Astatine-218 was the first astatine isotope discovered in nature. [113] Astatine-219, with a half-life of 56 seconds, is the longest lived of the naturally occurring isotopes. [6] Isotopes of astatine are sometimes not listed as naturally occurring because of misconceptions [103] that there are no such isotopes, [114] or discrepancies in the ...

In chemistry, an interhalogen compound is a molecule which contains two or more different halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, or astatine) and no atoms of elements from any other group. Most interhalogen compounds known are binary (composed of only two distinct elements).
The dipyridine-astatine(I) cation, [At(C 5 H 5 N) 2] +, forms ionic compounds with perchlorate [25] (a non-coordinating anion [27]) and with nitrate, [At(C 5 H 5 N) 2]NO 3. [25] This cation exists as a coordination complex in which two dative covalent bonds separately link the astatine(I) centre with each of the pyridine rings via their ...
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 ...

The end of the stable elements occurs after lead, largely because nuclei with 128 neutrons—two neutrons above the magic number 126—are extraordinarily unstable and almost immediately alpha-decay. [5] This contributes to the very short half-lives of astatine, radon, and francium.
