Isotopes of francium

Francium (₈₇Fr) has no stable isotopes. A standard atomic weight cannot be given. Its most stable isotope is ²²³Fr with a half-life of 22 minutes, occurring in trace quantities in nature as an intermediate decay product of ²³⁵U.

Of elements whose most stable isotopes have been identified with certainty, francium is the most unstable. All elements with atomic number of 106 (seaborgium) or greater have most-stable-known isotopes shorter than that of francium, but as those elements have only a relatively small number of isotopes discovered, the possibility remains that undiscovered isotopes of these elements may have longer half-lives.
