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 ...
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 ...

The following table gives the crystalline structure of the most thermodynamically stable form(s) for elements that are solid at standard temperature and pressure. Each element is shaded by a color representing its respective Bravais lattice, except that all orthorhombic lattices are grouped together.
ClF and BrF can both be produced by the reaction of a larger interhalogen, such as ClF 3 or BrF 3 and a diatomic molecule of the element lower in the periodic table. Among the hexatomic interhalogens, IF 5 has a higher boiling point (97 °C) than BrF 5 (40.5 °C), although both compounds are liquids at room temperature.
All the elements in the group are solids at room temperature, except for nitrogen which is gaseous at room temperature. Nitrogen and bismuth, despite both being pnictogens, are very different in their physical properties. For instance, at STP nitrogen is a transparent non-metallic gas, while bismuth is a silvery-white metal. [12]
Periodic table of the chemical elements showing the most or more commonly named sets of elements (in periodic tables), and a traditional dividing line between metals and nonmetals. The f-block actually fits between groups 2 and 3; it is usually shown at the foot of the table to save horizontal space.
On a standard periodic table, all eleven elements are in a diagonal region of the p-block extending from boron at the upper left to astatine at lower right. Some periodic tables include a dividing line between metals and nonmetals , and the metalloids may be found close to this line.
