Short description: Nuclides with atomic number of 99 but with different mass numbers
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Einsteinium (99Es) is a synthetic element, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all synthetic elements, it has no stable isotopes. The first isotope to be discovered (in nuclear fallout from the Ivy Mike H-bomb test) was 253Es in 1952. There are 18 known radioisotopes from 240Es to 257Es, and 3 nuclear isomers (250mEs, 254mEs, and 256mEs). The longest-lived isotope is 252Es with a half-life of 471.7 days, or around 1.293 years.
