Lead (82 Pb) has four observationally stable isotopes: 204 Pb, 206 Pb, 207 Pb, 208 Pb. Lead-204 is entirely a primordial nuclide and is not a radiogenic nuclide.The three isotopes lead-206, lead-207, and lead-208 represent the ends of three decay chains: the uranium series (or radium series), the actinium series, and the thorium series, respectively; a fourth decay chain, the neptunium series ...
Natural lead consists of four stable isotopes with mass numbers of 204, 206, 207, and 208, [38] and traces of six short-lived radioisotopes with mass numbers 209–214 inclusive. The high number of isotopes is consistent with lead's atomic number being even.

Lead consists of four stable isotopes: 204 Pb, 206 Pb, 207 Pb, and 208 Pb. Local variations in uranium/thorium/lead content cause a wide location-specific variation of isotopic ratios for lead from different localities. Lead emitted to the atmosphere by industrial processes has an isotopic composition different from lead in minerals.
This is a list of radioactive nuclides (sometimes also called isotopes), ordered by half-life from shortest to longest, in seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Current methods make it difficult to measure half-lives between approximately 10 −19 and 10 −10 seconds.
Radon-222 itself alpha decays to polonium-218 with a half-life of approximately 3.82 days, making it the most stable isotope of radon. [1] Its final decay product is stable lead-206. In theory, 222 Rn is capable of double beta decay to 222 Ra, and depending on the mass measurement, single beta decay to 222 Fr may also be allowed.

Both the uranium-235 and uranium-238 series decay into an isotope of lead. The half-life of converting 235 U to 207 Pb is 710 million years, and the half-life of converting 238 U to 206 Pb is 4.47 billion years. Because of high resolution mass-spectroscopy, both chains can be used to date rocks, giving complementary information about the rocks.
