Atomic Symbol 85 (& Cool facts: Uses, Sources, Color and more...) 2022

Every atom has a symbol and some are easy to figure out. Especially if you already know its name.

But what do you do when you only know its atomic number? Like... what is the atom symbol whose atomic number is 85?

The answer is Astatine (At). However there are a lot of interesting facts about Astatine that people don't know. Let me show you:

Astatine Overview

Atomic Symbol

At (Astatine)

Description

Unstable, radioactive member of the halogen group.

Sources

Does not occur in nature. Similar to iodine. Produced by bombarding bismuth with alpha particles.

State at 20 °C

solid

Uses

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

Name Origin

Greek: astatos (unstable).

Discovery

Discovered By: D.R.Corson, K.R.MacKenzie, E.Segré
Year: 1940
Location: United States
