Historie
In 1869, existence of astatine was first predicted by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev and called the element eka-iodine.

In 1940, Dale R. Corson, Kenneth Ross MacKenzie, and Emilio Segrè isolated the element at the University of California, Berkeley.

Instead of searching for the element in nature, the scientists created it by bombarding bismuth-209 with alpha particles.

Anvendelser
The newly formed astatine-211 is important in nuclear medicine.

Once produced, astatine must be used quickly, as it decays with a half-life of 7.2 hours.

Astatine-211 can be used for targeted alpha particle radiotherapy, since it decays either via emission of an alpha particle.
Astatine is highly radioactive
