Radioactive decay pathway of the isotope oganesson-294. [13] The decay energy and average half-life are given for the parent isotope and each daughter isotope . The fraction of atoms undergoing spontaneous fission (SF) is given in green.
Oganesson (118 Og) is a synthetic element created in particle accelerators, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all synthetic elements, it has no stable isotopes. The first and only isotope to be synthesized was 294 Og in 2002 and 2005; it has a half-life of 0.7 milliseconds.
In October 2006 it was announced that three atoms of oganesson had been detected by the bombardment of californium-249 with calcium-48 ions, which then rapidly decayed into livermorium. [24] The observation of the daughter 290 Lv allowed the assignment of the parent to 294 Og and confirmed the synthesis of oganesson.
A seventh possible isotope with mass number 294 has been reported but not yet confirmed. In the periodic table , it is a p-block transactinide element . It is a member of the 7th period and is placed in group 16 as the heaviest chalcogen , but it has not been confirmed to behave as the heavier homologue to the chalcogen polonium .
The configurations of the elements in this table are written starting with [Og] because oganesson is expected to be the last prior element with a closed-shell (inert gas) configuration, 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 3d 10 4s 2 4p 6 4d 10 4f 14 5s 2 5p 6 5d 10 5f 14 6s 2 6p 6 6d 10 7s 2 7p 6. Similarly, the [172] in the configurations for elements ...
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.

Although known nuclei still fall several neutrons short of N = 184 where maximum stability is expected (the most neutron-rich confirmed nuclei, 293 Lv and 294 Ts, only reach N = 177), and the exact location of the center of the island remains unknown, [62] [6] the trend of increasing stability closer to N = 184 has been demonstrated.
