Astatine (At). Diagram of the nuclear composition, electron configuration, chemical data, and valence (outer electron) orbitals of an atom of astatine-210 (atomic number: 85), an isotope of this element. The nucleus consists of 85 protons (red) and 125 neutrons (orange). 85 electrons (white) successively occupy available electron shells (rings). Astatine is a radioactive halogen in group 17, period 6, and the p-block of the periodic table. Astatine-210, the most stable of the isotopes of astatine, has a half-life of just over 8 hours.
