Francium is extremely unstable. The most stable isotope of francium has a half-life of only about 22 minutes. Other isotopes of francium have half-lives measured in microseconds. Scientists predict there is less than one ounce of francium in Earth's crust at any one time. Because of this instablilty, it would be much easier to go get a cup of coffee and wait for francium to cut itself apart.
