Does astatine have an odor

Answer 1

Astatine is a radioactive element and is extremely rare, which makes it difficult to study in detail. There is no known research confirming whether astatine has an odor, as it is typically handled in very small amounts and under controlled conditions. In theory, being a halogen, it might have some odor, but any potential scent would likely be overwhelmed by its radioactivity and rarity. Therefore, its odor properties remain largely speculative.
