Francium was discovered by Marguerite Perey in 1939 during a study on actinium-227: she observed an energy level possibly attributable to a new element. After some chemical experiments she was sure that the radiation is from a new chemical element, after this called francium.
What else can I help you with?
What technology did they need to find francium?
Francium can be detected only by nuclear spectrometry.
Where in nature would you find francium?
Francium exists in uranium and thorium ores.
Where can you find francium other than on earth?
The existence of francium in cosmos was not proved.
Where do you find the element francium?
Francium exist in infinitesimal traces in thorium and uranium ores.
Where would you find francium?
francium is found in thorium and uranium ores in the earth's crust obtained by the decay of actinium
What common compounds contain francium?
Francium is an extremely rare and highly radioactive element, making it difficult to find in nature. Due to its extreme rarity and radioactivity, francium is not commonly found in compounds. However, some theoretical compounds containing francium may include francium fluoride (FrF) or francium hydroxide (FrOH), although these would be highly unstable and challenging to create and study in a laboratory setting.
All of the alkali metals except francium were discovered by 1860. Why did it take scientists nearly another 80 years to discover francium?
Francium is named after France, which is where the element was isolated in 1939 by Marguerite Perey. Traces of francium occur naturally in uranium-containing minerals. francium is very rare so it took time to find it (i think)
Is francium combustible?
Not known today but probably francium don't burn.
All alkali metals except francium had been disconerd by 1860 why did it take scientists another 80 years to find francium?
Francium is the second rarest element on earth so that's probably why it took a little longer to discover.
What is a use of francium oxide and What is a compound of francium Is a compound francium oxide?
Francium has not applications and the oxide cannot be prepared.
What is the name of the compound FrCl?
'FrCl' is Francium chloride. NB Francium(Fr) is the heaviest of the Group(I) [Alkali] metals. You will not find it in the open lab. because it is radioactive.
Is francium a metalliod?
Francium is a metal.
