A radioactive element belonging to the halogens discovered by bombarding bismuth with helium nuclei and also formed by radioactive decay. 4, record 1, English, - astatine
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 DEF
Nonmetallic element of atomic number 85. Group VIIA of Periodic Table; atomic weight 210. Heaviest member of the halogen family. It has 20 isotopes, all radioactive; derived by alpha bombardment of bismuth. ... Astatine occurs in nature to the extent of about one ounce in entire earth's crust. Like iodine, it concentrates in the thyroid gland. Its use in medicine is still experimental. 5, record 1, English, - astatine

Corps simple, le cinquième et le plus lourd du groupe des halogènes, de symbole At, de masse atomique 210, de numéro atomique 85 (ancien ekaiode), préparé au cyclotron en bombardant une cible d'oxyde de bismuth avec des hélions de 25 MeV. 4, record 1, French, - astate
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
L'astate existe en quantités infinitésimales comme produit de désintégration radioactive naturelle de l'uranium. L'astate 211 est obtenu par bombardement d'une cible en bismuth refroidie, par des particules [alpha] de haute énergie. On évapore de la cible l'astate formé à basse pression. 4, record 1, French, - astate
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Il semble [que la chimie de l'astate] s'apparente à celle de l'iode [...] On peut considérer ainsi qu'il fait partie de la famille des halogènes dans laquelle il était prévu sous le nom provisoire d'éka-iode. D'autres isotopes sont connus, mais aucun d'eux n'est stable (d'où le nom d'astate [du grec «astatos», qui signifie instable] qui a été donné à ce corps). 4, record 1, French, - astate
