science is very fun and interesting!!!! it is at least 1000000% better than sitting on a chair and do nothing!!!

@simcardsokl It's because it's so unstable and dangerous francium contains 33 isotopes all of which are unstable, plus unlike the other alkali metals in family one on the periodic table of elements francium is also a radioactive isotope. Pure francium would have to be stored in a airless radioactive resistance container otherwise it would explode when exposed to the air (air contains water vapor) and it could cause damage to cells including human cells.

There is your answer my friend

:D :D :D
