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] Francium-223 is a fifth product of the uranium-235 decay series as a daughter isotope of actinium-227; thorium-227 is the more common daughter. [23]
TIL in 2000 a Mexican woman performed an hour-long C-section on herself with a kitchen knife after 12 hours of constant pain. After 3 attempts to cut open her abdomen, she made a 17cm vertical ...
Given that the only source to even mention francium compounds says that none have been made, I think it's better to just leave it out, at least for now.--Cryptic C62 · Talk 17:18, 10 April 2007 (UTC) If reliable sources write that they believe francium will act like caesium, you can, I think, include that fact.
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.
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.
Two widely touted Alzheimer’s drugs have been shown to enable patients to remain in their homes for longer periods of time. Those medications, however, are not without their risks and side effects.
Francium (87 Fr) has no stable isotopes, thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Its most stable isotope is 223 Fr with a half-life of 22 minutes, occurring in trace quantities in nature as an intermediate decay product of 235 U. Of elements whose most stable isotopes have been identified with certainty, francium is the most unstable.
