Isotopes of oganesson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Oganesson (Og) is a synthetic element created in particle accelerators, 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.

Table[edit]

294Og 118 176 294.21392(71)# 890 µs α 290Lv

Notes[edit]

  • Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from systematic trends.
  • Uncertainties are given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits. Uncertainty values from Ame2003 denote one standard deviation. Values from IUPAC are expanded uncertainties.

Theoretical[edit]

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]

Target-projectile combinations leading to Z=118 compound nuclei[edit]

Theoretical calculations on evaporation cross sections[edit]

The below table contains various targets-projectile combinations for which calculations have provided estimates for cross section yields from various neutron evaporation channels. The channel with the highest expected yield is given.

DNS = Di-nuclear system ; σ = cross section
