Isotopes of oganesson

Oganesson (Og) is a synthetic element created in particle colliders, and thus a standard atomic mass cannot be given. Like all synthetic elements, it has no stable isotopes. The first (and so far only) isotope to be synthesized was 294Og in 2006; it has a half-life of 890 microseconds.

Notes

Theoretical

Theoretical calculations done on the synthetic pathways for, and the half-life of, other isotopes have shown that some could be slightly more stable than the synthesized isotope 294Og, most likely 293Og, 295Og, 296Og, 297Og, 298Og, 300Og and 302Og.[1][2][3] Of these, 297Og, might provide the best chances for obtaining longer-lived nuclei,[1][3] and thus might become the focus of future work with this element. Some isotopes with many more neutrons, such as some located around 313Og, could also provide longer-lived nuclei.[4]
