Isotopes of ununtrium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Ununtrium (Uut) is an artificial element, and thus a standard atomic mass cannot be given. Like all artificial elements, it has no stable isotopes. The first isotope to be synthesized was 284Uut as a decay product of 288Uup in 2003. The first isotope to be directly synthesized was 278Uut in 2004. There are 6 known radioisotopes from 278Uut to 286Uut. The longest-lived isotope is 286Uut with a half-life of 19.6 seconds.

  1. ^ Not directly synthesized, occurs as decay product of 287Uup
  2. ^ Not directly synthesized, occurs as decay product of 288Uup
  3. ^ Not directly synthesized, occurs in decay chain of 293Uus
  4. ^ Not directly synthesized, occurs in decay chain of 294Uus

[edit] Notes

  • Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from systematic trends. Spins with weak assignment arguments are enclosed in parentheses.
  • Uncertainties are given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits. Uncertainty values denote one standard deviation, except isotopic composition and standard atomic mass from IUPAC which use expanded uncertainties.
