Isotopes of radium



Radium (Ra) has no stable isotopes. A standard atomic mass cannot be given.

Isotopes of radium occurring within the radioactive disintegration chains of actinium and thorium were known as:

  • actinium X : 223Ra
  • thorium X : 224Ra
  • mesothorium I : 228Ra

Notes

  • Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from systematic trends. Spins with weak assignment arguments are enclosed in parentheses.
  • Uncertainties are given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits. Uncertainty values denote one standard deviation, except isotopic composition and standard atomic mass from IUPAC which use expanded uncertainties.
