  6. Isotopes of moscovium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_moscovium

    Moscovium (115 Mc) is a synthetic element, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all synthetic elements, it has no known stable isotopes. The first isotope to be synthesized was 288 Mc in 2004. There are five known radioisotopes from 286 Mc to 290 Mc. The longest-lived isotope is 290 Mc with a half-life of 0.65 seconds.
