  2. Strontium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strontium

    Natural strontium is a mixture of four stable isotopes: 84 Sr, 86 Sr, 87 Sr, and 88 Sr. [11] On these isotopes, 88 Sr is the most abundant, makes up about 82.6% of all natural strontium, though the abundance varies due to the production of radiogenic 87 Sr as the daughter of long-lived beta-decaying 87 Rb. [22] This is the basis of rubidium ...

  3. Isotopes of strontium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_strontium

    The ratio 87 Sr/ 86 Sr is the parameter typically reported in geologic investigations; [4] ratios in minerals and rocks have values ranging from about 0.7 to greater than 4.0 (see rubidium–strontium dating). Because strontium has an electron configuration similar to that of calcium, it readily substitutes for calcium in minerals.

  4. Strontium-90 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strontium-90

    Naturally occurring strontium is nonradioactive and nontoxic at levels normally found in the environment, but 90 Sr is a radiation hazard. [4] 90 Sr undergoes β − decay with a half-life of 28.79 years and a decay energy of 0.546 MeV distributed to an electron, an antineutrino, and the yttrium isotope 90 Y, which in turn undergoes β − decay with a half-life of 64 hours and a decay energy ...

    Fairly quickly, the scientists were able to detect the existence of Strontium and Yttrium, confirming exactly where those elements come from for the very first time. It also resulted in the ...

    One of the primordial nuclides is tantalum-180m, which is predicted to have a half-life in excess of 10 15 years, but has never been observed to decay. The even-longer half-life of 2.2 × 10 24 years of tellurium-128 was measured by a unique method of detecting its radiogenic daughter xenon-128 and is the longest known experimentally measured ...

  7. Isotope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope

    A nuclide is a species of an atom with a specific number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, for example, carbon-13 with 6 protons and 7 neutrons. The nuclide concept (referring to individual nuclear species) emphasizes nuclear properties over chemical properties, whereas the isotope concept (grouping all atoms of each element) emphasizes chemical over nuclear.

  9. Abundance of the chemical elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_the_chemical...

    The abundance of the chemical elements is a measure of the occurrences of the chemical elements relative to all other elements in a given environment. Abundance is measured in one of three ways: by mass fraction (in commercial contexts often called weight fraction), by mole fraction (fraction of atoms by numerical count, or sometimes fraction of molecules in gases), or by volume fraction.
