[I just had the misfortune of having to write an essay on Francium, for my GCSEs, so i decided to give some information on it to other people who need it for these kinds of circumstances.]
There is no more than one ounce of Francium in the Earths crust at any one time. In fact, unlike other alkali metals, it was not 'stumbled upon'. It took many years and a lot of studying to work out that there must be another group one element with a higher reactivity than Caesium. It is not possible to do any tests on Francium as it has a half life of 22 minutes but we can work out most things about it by looking at the other Group 1 metals....x...Prisca Zia...x...

How do you find the sum of fluorine?

The sum of elements like fluorine can be found by adding the atomic masses of its isotopes, weighted by their abundance in nature. The most abundant isotope of fluorine is fluorine-19, which has an atomic mass of 18.998403163 u. By accounting for the abundance of this isotope in nature, the average atomic mass of fluorine can be calculated, which is approximately 18.998 u.
