About Francium

Francium is an extremely radioactive alkali metal. Its longest-lived isotope has a half-life of only 22 minutes. It has never been produced in visible quantities and was the last element discovered in nature.

Gebruiks & Programme

No commercial applications. Used only in basic spectroscopy research.

Fun Fact

At most about 30 grams of francium exist in the entire Earth's crust, and the largest amount collected was about 300,000 atoms.
