Answer to Problem 85AP
The chemical symbol of astatine is At and its atomic number is 85.
Explanation of Solution
There are in total 118 elements known to exist in nature shown in the periodic table. Every element in the nature has given its own symbol, which is a shorthand method for representing the element. It is an easy way to represent the element by symbol instead of writing out the name of an element. The symbol of the element can be represented by one or two letters. For two letter symbols, only first letter is capitalized. The number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom signifies the atomic number of the atom, the atomic number is unique for every element.
Thus, chemical symbol of astatine is At and its atomic number is 85.
