text: Astatine is likely to have a dark or lustrous appearance and may be a semiconductor or possibly a metal; it probably has a higher melting point than that of iodine.
text: Neighborhood Like the other halogens, astatine is a nonmetal, although it shows more metallic character in its chemistry than the others.
text: Is Astatine a non metal or a metalloid?
text: Astatine (pronounced as AS-teh-teen) is a non-metal represented by the chemical symbol At, and belongs to the family of halogens .
text: This indicates astatine may be a metal in its condensed state, based on the Goldhammer-Herzfeld criterion, which predicts metallic behavior if the ratio of molar refractivity to molar volume is ≥1. ^  
text: Astatine may be dark, or it may have a metallic appearance and be a semiconductor, or it may even be a metal.
text: 65, 122), who contend or presume that astatine would be a metal if it could form a condensed phase.
text: " to "Astatine is likely to have a dark or lustrous appearance and be either a semiconductor or a metal, and it will probably have a higher melting point than iodine.
text: Since iodine is a semiconductor in the direction of its planes, and since the halogens become more metallic with increasing atomic number, it has been presumed that astatine would be a metal if it could form a condensed phase.[n 48]
text: The listing tries to show that astatine, although classified as a metalloid is sometimes instead classified as nonmetal (due to the instinctive presumption that because astatine is a halogen it must be a nonmetal).
