The evolution of Earth's mantle radiogenic heat flow over time: contribution from 40 K in yellow. The decay of 40 K in Earth's mantle ranks third, after 232 Th and 238 U, in the list of sources of radiogenic heat. Less is known about the amount of radiogenic sources in Earth's outer and inner core, which lie below the mantle.
K decays with a half-life of 1.248×10 9 years. 89% of those decays are to stable 40 Ca by beta decay , whilst 11% are to 40 Ar by either electron capture or positron emission .
The compounds produced using stable isotopes are either specified by the percentage of labeled isotopes (that is, 30% uniformly labeled 13 C glucose contains a mixture that is 30% labeled with 13 carbon isotope and 70% naturally labeled carbon) or by the specifically labeled carbon positions on the compound (that is, 1-13 C glucose which is ...
While 40 K comprises only 0.001167% of total potassium mass, 40 Ca makes up 96.9821% of total calcium mass; thus, 40 K decay leads to significantly greater 40 Ca enrichment than any other isotope. [8] The decay constant for the decay to 40 Ca is denoted as λ β and equals 4.962 × 10 −10 yr −1; the decay constant to 40 Ar is denoted as λ ...
A chart or table of nuclides maps the nuclear, or radioactive, behavior of nuclides, as it distinguishes the isotopes of an element.It contrasts with a periodic table, which only maps their chemical behavior, since isotopes (nuclides that are variants of the same element) do not differ chemically to any significant degree, with the exception of hydrogen.
This is a list of chemical elements by the stability of their isotopes. Of the first 82 elements in the periodic table , 80 have isotopes considered to be stable. [ 1 ] Overall, there are 251 known stable isotopes in total.

An isoscape is a geologic map of isotope distribution. It is a spatially explicit prediction of elemental isotope ratios (δ) that is produced by executing process-level models of elemental isotope fractionation or distribution in a geographic information system (GIS).
