Data 2003

This article is part of Wikipedia:Wikiproject Isotopes. Please keep style and phrasings consistent across the set of pages. For later reference and improved reliability, data from all considered multiple sources is collected here. References are denoted by these letters:

  • (A) G. Audi, O. Bersillon, J. Blachot, A.H. Wapstra. The Nubase2003 evaluation of nuclear and decay properties, Nuc. Phys. A 729, pp. 3-128 (2003). — Where this source indicates a speculative value, the # mark is also applied to values with weak assignment arguments from other sources, if grouped together. An asterisk after the A means that a comment of some importance may be available in the original.

  • (E) Same as B but excitation energy replaced with that from D.

Killing the bug

The article confusingly said:

180mTa is the only naturally occurring nuclear isomer (excluding radiogenic and cosmogenic short-living nuclides). It is also the rarest isotope in the Universe, taking into account the elemental abundance of tantalum and isotopic abundance of 180mTa in the natural mixture of isotopes.

Depends on how to take into account ... I'm not going to analyze the statement, just stating that: of the naturally occurring elements, 180mTa is by no means the rarest nuclide. That goes to some nuclide that we can compute must exist in nature by some weird nuclear process (cold neutron capture from SF 238U some such), but we have no chance in the universe to detect by our current technology. It's the rarest primordial (generated by Big Bang, any supernova or some double neutron star collision or so, and then remaining for some 108 or so) isotope of all elements that have at least one stable isotope. Circa true, even though a few primordial Al-26 atoms may remain from the Solar System birth supernovae... Said: Rursus 13:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Table styles

Isn't there a way to have the table apply the style across the whole column, rather than specifying the same style every time in every cell? That gets old fast. —Długosz (talk) 23:05, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
