astatine

astatine
astatine radioactive element, named 1947, from Gk. astatos "unstable" (see ASTATIC (Cf. astatic)) + chemical suffix -INE (Cf. -ine) (2). So called for its short half-life and lack of stable isotopes. "The element appears not to have a stable form and probably does not exist in nature" [Flood, "Origin of Chemical Names"].
