    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_compounds...

    Chemical nomenclature, replete as it is with compounds with very complex names, is a repository for some names that may be considered unusual. A browse through the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (a fundamental resource) will reveal not just the whimsical work of chemists, but the sometimes peculiar compound names that occur as the ...

    Os undergoes alpha decay with such a long half-life (2.0 ± 1.1) × 10 15 years, approximately 140 000 times the age of the universe, that for practical purposes it can be considered stable. 184 Os is also known to undergo alpha decay with a half-life of (1.12 ± 0.23) × 10 13 years. [ 10 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth-209

    Bismuth-209 was long thought to have the heaviest stable nucleus of any element, but in 2003, a research team at the Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale in Orsay, France, discovered that 209 Bi undergoes alpha decay with a half-life of 20.1 exayears (2.01×10 19, or 20.1 quintillion years), [3] [4] over 10 9 times longer than the estimated age of the universe.
