Now, no commercial use for astatine; but the isotope astatine 211 was proposed for the radiotherapy of cancers.
The isotope astatine 211 is proposed for the radiotherapy of cancers.
The isotope astatine-211 was proposed for the radiotherapy of some cancers.
No, the guy before me was wrong, Astatine is a Metalloid and it is used in the Radiotherapy of cancer.
Astatine (At)
Astatine is an element with the symbol At.
Astatine has 125 neutrons
Some common compounds formed by astatine include hydrogen astatide (HAt), astatine monochloride (AtCl), astatine monobromide (AtBr), and astatine monoxide (At2O). Due to the scarcity and radioactive nature of astatine, its compounds are not commonly studied.
Oh, dude, astatine is like that rarest naturally occurring element, you know? It's so rare that you're more likely to find a unicorn in your backyard than stumble upon some astatine. But hey, it's used in super niche scientific research and maybe in some future cancer treatments, so it's not totally useless.
Yes, astatine can react with potassium bromide to form potassium astatide and bromine. This reaction is typically used in nuclear medicine laboratories to produce astatine compounds for medical research and treatment.
The color of the element astatine is unknown.
The Latin language name of astatine is astatium.
Astatine has 85 protons.
