The abundances of the naturally occurring isotopes of neon

Neon (10Ne) possesses three stable isotopes: 20Ne, 21Ne, and 22Ne. In addition, 17 radioactive isotopes have been discovered, ranging from 15Ne to 34Ne, all short-lived. The longest-lived is 24Ne with a half-life of 3.38(2) min. All others are under a minute, most under a second. The least stable is 15Ne with a half-life of 770(300) ys (7.7(3.0)×10−22 s). See isotopes of carbon for notes about the measurement. Light radioactive neon isotopes usually decay to fluorine or oxygen, while heavier ones decay to sodium.

  1. mNe – Excited nuclear isomer.
  2. ( ) – Uncertainty (1σ) is given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits.
  3. # – Atomic mass marked #: value and uncertainty derived not from purely experimental data, but at least partly from trends from the Mass Surface (TMS).
  4. Modes of decay:
    n: Neutron emission
    p: Proton emission
  5. Bold symbol as daughter – Daughter product is stable.
  6. ( ) spin value – Indicates spin with weak assignment arguments.
  7. Has 2 halo protons.
  8. 8.0 8.1 8.2 8.3 8.4 8.5 8.6 8.7 8.8 Decay mode shown is energetically allowed, but has not been experimentally observed to occur in this nuclide.
  9. This isotope has not yet been observed; given data is inferred or estimated from periodic trends.
