Francium
Francium is an extremely radioactive alkali metal. Tiny amounts occur naturally in uranium ores, where they are continually formed by radioactive decay; francium can also be produced in laboratories. Its longest-lived isotope lasts only about 22 minutes, so francium has no commercial applications and is used mainly for scientific research.
