Curium (96 Cm) is an artificial element with an atomic number of 96. Because it is an artificial element, a standard atomic weight cannot be given, and it has no stable isotopes. The first isotope synthesized was 242 Cm in 1944, which has 146 neutrons. There are 19 known radioisotopes ranging from 233 Cm to 251 Cm. There are also ten known ...
This is a list of radioactive nuclides (sometimes also called isotopes), ordered by half-life from shortest to longest, in seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Current methods make it difficult to measure half-lives between approximately 10 −19 and 10 −10 seconds.
Curium is one of the most radioactive isolable elements. Its two most common isotopes 242 Cm and 244 Cm are strong alpha emitters (energy 6 MeV); they have fairly short half-lives, 162.8 days and 18.1 years, and give as much as 120 W/g and 3 W/g of heat, respectively.

Prolonged irradiation of americium, curium, and plutonium with neutrons produces milligram amounts of 252 Cf and microgram amounts of 249 Cf. [55] As of 2006, curium isotopes 244 to 248 are irradiated by neutrons in special reactors to produce mainly californium-252 with lesser amounts of isotopes 249 to 255. [56]
Since a nucleus with an odd number of protons is relatively less stable, odd-numbered elements tend to have fewer stable isotopes. Of the 26 "monoisotopic" elements that have only a single stable isotope, all but one have an odd atomic number—the single exception being beryllium. In addition, no odd-numbered element has more than two stable ...
This page uses the meta infobox {{Infobox isotopes (meta)}} for the element isotopes infobox. This infobox contains the table of § Main isotopes, and the § Standard atomic weight. For example, {{Infobox uranium isotopes}}, as used on page Isotopes of uranium. The main isotopes table is reused in the regular Infobox: {{Infobox uranium}}.
