3 Uses
3.1 Uses & Benefits
  • Francium has no known uses as it has a half life of only 22 minutes.
  • Polonium metal has different Allotropes, it is used in antistatic devices and for research purpose.
  • A 1 gram of Polonium can reach a temperature of 500°C, hence it is used as a heat source for space equipment.
