Element of the day (day 86)
#85) At-Astatine-]radioactive
not found naturally or occurs in such minute amounts that it does not reasonably exist on Earth
Discovered in 1940 by Dale Corson, K. Mackenzie and E. Segre of the USA.
A dark colored, metallic looking solid, somewhat similar to iodine. There is almost no natural astatine on Earth and only microscopic amounts have been produced artificially. Astatine is too rare to have any industrial or commercial uses.
It is estimated that the entire Earth's crust only contains about 30 grams of astatine.
