Francium can be obtained in a particle accelerator with this reaction:
Au-197 + O-18 = Fr-210 = 5 n
Francium was discovered in 1939, several decades after Mendeleev created his periodic table in 1869. At the time Mendeleev developed his table, francium had not yet been identified, and elements were organized based on their known properties and atomic weights. Additionally, francium is a highly radioactive and unstable element, which made it difficult to study and include in early classifications of elements.
Not known today but probably francium don't burn.
Francium has not applications and the oxide cannot be prepared.
Francium is a metal.
Francium was named after France, the country it was dicovered in.
The chemistry of francium is not known; francium has properties similar to caesium.
We haven't sufficient francium for a measurement; also francium is autovaporized.
As francium is a chemical element, it is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Francium is a radioacive chemical element; francium is natural but also may be prepared in laboratory.
Francium is a natural chemical element but the total quantity of francium in the earth crust is only approx. 30 g. Francium has ca. 40 isotopes and isomers but only two are natural: 221Fr (in the neptunium decay chain series) and 223Fr (in the actinium decay chain series). Artificially preparation of francium isotopes is also extremely difficult and expensive; and the chemistry and physics of isotopes was developed essentially after 1940. Supplementary, the most stable isotope of francium has a half life of only 21,8 minutes and is strongly radioactive; the half lives of the artificially prepared isotopes are more smaller. This is sufficient reason to explain why francium was later discovered and why even today is only slightly studied.
