Unusual facts

  • From what scientists know, Francium's reaction when put in water should be greater than all the other alkali metals
  • can emit an alpha-particle (a helium nucleus) to form astatine-219 or a beta-particle to form radium-223. (A beta-particle is an electron which is emitted from a nucleus when a neutron converts to a proton.)
  • You cannot find francium in the nature. This alkali metal is very reactive. It can serve as a good conductor for the electricity and heat.
