Main isotopes of elements
[edit]Being discussed at WT:ELEMENTS, January 2023
- Primordial (286): 251 stable + 35 long-lived
- Cosmogenic & some decay products
- Medically useful, radiotracer, industrial applications
- Nuclear fuel & fission products
- Verified extinct or otherwise geologically interesting
- (synthetic) 2–3 longest lived (if not covered by other criteria)
- (synthetic) Most commonly produced
- IAR: other interesting long-lived or historically studied nuclide
Will do slight reorganization and adjustments to criteria.
An isotope might meet several criteria, though each is only listed under one below. Potentially useful lists: [1] [2]
Did not include unconfirmed isotopes of SHEs.
All isomers labeled m are m1 unless otherwise indicated, as reflected in scientific publications.
- Isomers to be identified by massnumber id ⟨m1, m2, m3, m4⟩. Must correspond with NUBASE2020 ⟨m, n, p, q⟩ identifiers 1:1.
- ComplexRational please confirm that m-isotopes are m1-isotopes, by editing into such. (IOW, "m" is not acceptable as identification). -DePiep (talk) 08:06, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
