Francium is radioactive, extremely rare, and was discovered in France (hence the name). It is pretty much useless because of its short half-life and rarity.

Is element 99 real?

Yes, element 99 is real and it is called Einsteinium. It is a synthetic element that was first discovered in the debris of an atomic bomb test in 1952. It is radioactive and has no practical uses outside of scientific research.


What is 3 uses for candium?

Candium is a fictional element used for educational purposes in chemistry experiments. Its three main uses are to teach students about the concept of isotopes, demonstrate radioactive decay, and practice balancing chemical equations.


What element on the periodic table Is hardly used?

Lots of the elements have few or no practical uses. Many of the artificial radioactive ones (e.g. Einsteinium) have no uses outside research. Others such as thallium are so toxic that they are only used in very specialized situations. You can use the link to an interactive periodic table to explore the uses of the elements. If you are looking for the answer to a specific question, be sure to be clear whether uses of the compounds of the element count or not.

Explain what Becquerel found out about uranium?

Becquerel discovered that uranium emits radiation without an external energy source, a phenomenon called radioactivity. This discovery laid the foundation for the field of nuclear physics and led to further research on the properties and uses of radioactive materials.

What are the differences between astatine and bromine?

Astatine is a radioactive element, while bromine is a non-radioactive element. Astatine is a rare element with a very short half-life, while bromine is a common halogen with various industrial uses. Astatine is highly toxic due to its radioactivity, while bromine is toxic in its liquid and gas forms but not radioactive.

What is unique about einsteinium?

Einsteinium is unique because it is a synthetic element that does not exist naturally on Earth and was first discovered in the debris of the first hydrogen bomb test in 1952. It is classified as a transuranic element, meaning it has an atomic number higher than uranium. Einsteinium is highly radioactive and has only limited uses in scientific research.


Can radioactive be recycled?

Yes, there are a number of uses for radioactive material. It depends on the type of radioactive material.
