The isotope Astatine-211 is used to treat different types of tumors.
these are its uses in detail....
ONE AND ONLY USE(MOST PEOPLE THINK!):-
Astatine is far too rare to have any uses. Some research suggest,s a possible medical use, however. Astatine is similar to the elements above it in Group 17 (VIIA) of the Periodic Table, especially iodine. One property of iodine is that it tends to collect in the thyroid gland. The thyroid is a gland at the base of the neck that controls many body functions.
Some researchers think that astatine will behave like iodine. If so, it could be used to treat certain diseases of the thyroid, such as thyroid cancer. When swallowed, the astatine would go to the thyroid. There, the radiation it gives off would kill cancer cells in the gland.
Compounds
COMMERCIAL USES:-
There are no known commercial uses for astatine compounds.
Health Effects:-
As a radioactive element, astatine would pose a serious health hazard. However, because it can be produced only artificially and with great difficulty at thathardly anyone would ever be exposed to it.

What is the formula for gaseous astatine?
At2(g) is the formula for gessoes astatine.
How would astatine react with potassium chloride?
Astatine could potentially replace the chlorine in potassium chloride to form astatine chloride and potassium. The reaction would likely be very rare and unstable due to astatine's radioactivity and scarcity.
Predict the reaction between chlorine and potassium astatide?
Cl2 + 2KAt arrow 2KCl +At2 Chlorine + Potassium Astatide arrow Potassium Chloride + Astatine This happens because Chlorine is more reactive than Astatine so the chlorine displaces the Astatine to produce Potassium Chloride and Astatine.
