  2. Half-life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life

    Half-life (symbol t ½) is the time required for a quantity (of substance) to reduce to half of its initial value.The term is commonly used in nuclear physics to describe how quickly unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay or how long stable atoms survive.

Kondev et al. 2021 Chinese Phys. C 45 030001. The PDF of this article lists the half-lives of all known radioactives nuclides.

  4. Tritium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium

    Tritium (from Ancient Greek τρίτος (trítos) 'third') or hydrogen-3 (symbol T or 3 H) is a rare and radioactive isotope of hydrogen with a half-life of ~12.3 years. The tritium nucleus (t, sometimes called a triton) contains one proton and two neutrons, whereas the nucleus of the common isotope hydrogen-1 (protium) contains one proton and no neutrons, and that of non-radioactive hydrogen ...

    half-life column The main column shows times in seconds (31,556,926 seconds = 1 tropical year); a second column showing half-life in more usual units (year, day) is also provided. Entries starting with a ">" indicates that no decay has ever been observed, with null experiments establishing lower limits for the half-life.

  8. Fluorine-18 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine-18

    The fluorine produced is in the form of a water solution of [18 F]fluoride, which is then used in a rapid chemical synthesis of various radio pharmaceuticals. The organic oxygen-18 pharmaceutical molecule is not made before the production of the radiopharmaceutical, as high energy protons destroy such molecules ( radiolysis ).

  9. Bismuth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth

    Bismuth is a chemical element with the symbol Bi and atomic number 83. It is a post-transition metal and one of the pnictogens, with chemical properties resembling its lighter group 15 siblings arsenic and antimony. Elemental bismuth occurs naturally, and its sulfide and oxide forms are important commercial ores. The free element is 86% as ...
