Isotopes of tellurium

Isotopes of tellurium

There are 30 known isotopes of tellurium (Te) with atomic masses that range from 108 to 137. Naturally found tellurium consists of eight isotopes (listed in the table to the right); three of them are observed to be radioactive. 128Te has the longest known half-life, 2.2×1024 years (approx. 2.2 sextillion years), among all radioactive isotopes. Tellurium is the first element which can undergo alpha decay, with isotopes 106Te to 110Te being able to undergo this mode of decay.


Standard atomic mass: 127.60(3) u

Notes

* Geologically exceptional samples are known in which the isotopic composition lies outside the reported range. The uncertainty in the atomic mass may exceed the stated value for such specimens.
* 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.
