Francium is very rare and would be correspondingly expensive if you were able to purchase any, which you probably aren't.
Francium is not a commercial product.
- The total quantity of francium in the earth crust is approx. 30 g. - The most stable isotope of francium, 223Fr, has a half life of only 21,8 min. - Obtaining francium artificially by the intermediate of nuclear reactions, is also very difficult and expensive.
Francium is a highly radioactive and rare element, making it extremely expensive to produce. However, due to its extreme reactivity and short half-life, it is not commercially available for sale in bulk quantities like 10g.
Francium is highly reactive and unstable, making it dangerous to handle. It has a short half-life, which limits its practical use. Additionally, francium is rare and expensive to produce, making it impractical for widespread applications outside of controlled laboratory settings.
Not known today but probably francium don't burn.
Francium has not applications and the oxide cannot be prepared.
Examples: californium, americium, curium, iridium, rhenium, osmium, palladium, francium, astatine, technetium.
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.
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.
