It is prevented from having a stable isotope with 4 protons and 6 neutrons by the very large mismatch in proton/neutron ratio for such a light element. (Nevertheless, beryllium-10 has a half-life of 1.36 million years, which is too short to be primordial, but still indicates unusual stability for a light isotope with such an imbalance.)
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.
Except 20, 50 and 82 (all these three numbers are magic numbers), all other neutron numbers have at most 4 stable nuclides (in the case of 20, there are 5 stable nuclides 36 S, 37 Cl, 38 Ar, 39 K, and 40 Ca, and in the case for 50, there are 5 stable nuclides: 86 Kr, 88 Sr, 89 Y, 90 Zr, and 92 Mo, and 1 radioactive primordial nuclide, 87 Rb).
An example is calcium-40, with 20 neutrons and 20 protons, which is the heaviest stable isotope made of the same number of protons and neutrons. Both calcium-48 and nickel-48 are doubly magic because calcium-48 has 20 protons and 28 neutrons while nickel-48 has 28 protons and 20 neutrons. Calcium-48 is very neutron-rich for such a relatively ...
The mass of the nuclide (in daltons) is A (m n − E / k) where E is the energy, m n is 1.008664916 Da and k = 931.49410242 the conversion factor between MeV and daltons. half-life column The main column shows times in seconds (31,556,926 seconds = 1 tropical year ); a second column showing half-life in more usual units (year, day) is also ...
