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

Notes

  • 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

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 294Uuo, most likely 293Uuo, 295Uuo, 296Uuo, 297Uuo, 298Uuo, 300Uuo and 302Uuo.[1][2][2] Of these, 297Uuo, might provide the best chances for obtaining longer-lived nuclei,[1][2] and thus might become the focus of future work with this element. Some isotopes with many more neutrons, such as some located around 313Uuo, could also provide longer-lived nuclei.[3]
