Every atom has an atomic number, even Francium. But what is an "Atomic Number"?
The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Francium (That most people don't know).
Francium Overview
Atomic Symbol
Fr (Francium)
Description
Highly rare and unstable, radioactive metal.
State at 20 °C
Solid
Sources
Formed by decay of actinium. Chemical properties similar to cesium. Decays to radium or astatine.

Uses
Since its isotopes have such short half-lives there are no commercially significant compounds of francium.
