@windowlicker1 Fuck, my grade has to do a project where we create a poster for the element we chose. Each element can only have one person assigned to it, out of god-knows how many kids there are in my entire grade. I come in after a vacation, teacher tells me to pick an element, the only elements left are a few synthetic ones (BLEH) and, you guessed it, Astatine.

I can;t wait for an update on this element. This is one of my favorite elements!

how about buttium??

@jadedmastermind The rarest element would probably be element 118 ununoctium, but it will soon be element 120 which will be created soon (or could have just been created and scientist's are cheering right now at bern for creating it)

YOU NOOBS! stop saying uranium isnt rare; its obvious that it isnt rare; jadedmastermind means that astatine is the rarest element which is NOT TRANSURANIC!!!!!!

[batfitchxtc]

@jadedmastermind Uranium is very common, well, U-238 is, but that uranium is useless as of yet. you are right that U-235 is rare, whilst its the one we need. but youll find more uranium in the crust than gold

[doserdog]

@jadedmastermind Uranium is not very rare, it's actually in abundance on Earth.

[nerdalert226]

@jadedmastermind it IS francium not uranium there are tons and tons of U and only a few atoms of Fr in the crust plus Uranium has a half life of has a 4.5 billion years:)

@jadedmastermind I thought that was Francium. Or maybe I'm wrong.... let's let the professor decide
