  2. Radithor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radithor

    A bottle of Radithor at the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in New Mexico, United States. Radithor was a patent medicine that is a well-known example of radioactive quackery. It consisted of triple-distilled water containing at a minimum 1 microcurie (37 kBq) each of the radium-226 and 228 isotopes.

  3. Prout's hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prout's_hypothesis

    F. W. Aston discovered multiple stable isotopes for numerous elements using a mass spectrograph. In 1919, Aston studied neon with sufficient resolution to show that the two isotopic masses are very close to the integers 20 and 22, and that neither is equal to the known molar mass (20.2) of neon gas. [5]

  4. Table of nuclides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_nuclides

    A table or chart of nuclides is a two-dimensional graph of isotopes of the elements, in which one axis represents the number of neutrons (symbol N) and the other represents the number of protons (atomic number, symbol Z) in the atomic nucleus. Each point plotted on the graph thus represents a nuclide of a known or hypothetical chemical element.

  5. List of nuclides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclides

    The number of protons (Z column) and number of neutrons (N column). energy column The column labeled "energy" denotes the energy equivalent of the mass of a neutron minus the mass per nucleon of this nuclide (so all nuclides get a positive value) in MeV, formally: m n − m nuclide / A, where A = Z + N is the mass number. Note that this means ...

  6. Isotone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotone

    In contrast, the proton numbers for which there are no stable isotopes are 43, 61, and 83 or more (83, 90, 92, and perhaps 94 have primordial radionuclides). [3] This is related to nuclear magic numbers , the number of nucleons forming complete shells within the nucleus, e.g. 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, and 126.

  7. Radiogenic nuclide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiogenic_nuclide

    The following table lists some of the most important radiogenic isotope systems used in geology, in order of decreasing half-life of the radioactive parent isotope. The values given for half-life and decay constant are the current consensus values in the Isotope Geology community. [1] ** indicates ultimate decay product of a series.

  8. Proton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton

    A proton is a stable subatomic particle, symbol p, H +, or 1 H + with a positive electric charge of +1 e (elementary charge).Its mass is slightly less than the mass of a neutron and approximately 1836 times the mass of an electron (the proton-to-electron mass ratio).

  9. List of radioactive nuclides by half-life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_radioactive...

    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. [1]
