（化学元素）砹（符号： At ）
Example sentencesExamples
- There is evidence that astatine behaves like iodine in the body.
- The bismuth target is cooled during irradiation to prevent the volatile astatine disappearing.
- By one estimate, no more than a millionth of a gram of astatine has ever been produced in the lab.
- The total amount of astatine present in the earth's crust, however, is probably less than 1 oz.
- The halogens are a group of chemical elements that includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
- However, astatine also shows similarities to polonium and bismuth.
- This, together with its short lifetime, leaves no reason for considering the effects of astatine on human health.
