Liberman calculated a value of only 1.8 eV. Cunningham describes the solid element E117 to have a semi-metallic appearance. It should form stable oxyions of the (III), (V), and (VII) states and stable interhalogen compounds. Because of the small electron affinity it might not exhibit the -1 oxidation state, which is even further suggested by the smaller value calculated by Waber et al. Certainly it will be a very soft base compared with flouride or chloride which have a electron affinity of 4 eV resp. 3 eV." Its liquid range should also be somewhat larger than astatine's.

So its −1 state would be unstable. If we take the higher EA value, it is defensibly a metalloid. If we take the lower EA value, it is probably a metal (that value is even less than polonium's!) But the stable interhalogen compounds and it being very weakly basic would classify it as a metalloid in my

It is important to note that the whole of the above three paragraphs on element 117 is composed of predictions. That is why we give it the muted "metalloid" fill colour.

Here's what the most comprehensive source (Fricke 1971) states: "An interesting question is whether element E117 which is in the chemical group of the halogens would form the -1 anion.

The nonmetallic properties just fail to convince me. Polonium forms anionic polonides (but gold forms aurides and also has plenty of nonmetallic properties, such as its very high electronegativity of 2.54, despite being king of metals!) Its halides are easily hydrolyzed, but so are those of many of

OTOH, it has a narrow liquid range like most nonmetals; it has a small band gap like most nonmetals; aqueous astatine chemistry is generally dominated by astatine anions; astatides, astates, and interhalogens where astatine is in the +1 state behave like the corresponding compounds of its lighter
