Francium-223 is the most stable isotope, with a half-life of 21.8 minutes, [8] and it is highly unlikely that an isotope of francium with a longer half-life will ever be discovered or synthesized. [22] Francium-223 is a fifth product of the uranium-235 decay series as a daughter isotope of actinium-227; thorium-227 is the more common daughter. [23]
The CsFr molecule is predicted to have francium at the negative end of the dipole, unlike all known heterodiatomic alkali metal molecules. Francium superoxide (FrO 2) is expected to have a more covalent character than its lighter congeners; this is attributed to the 6p electrons in francium being more involved in the francium–oxygen bonding.

Its most stable isotope is 223 Fr with a half-life of 22 minutes, occurring in trace quantities in nature as an intermediate decay product of 235 U. Of elements whose most stable isotopes have been identified with certainty, francium is the most unstable.
The claim that francium has a lower electronegativity than caesium is widely, though not universally, repeated: this would be expected on the basis of periodicity, but measurements show that the ionization energy of francium is higher (4.0712 eV; Andreev, S.V.; Letokhov, V.S.; Mishin, V.I., Laser resonance photoionization spectroscopy of ...
