Isotopes of magnesium
Magnesium (12Mg) naturally occurs as three stable isotopes: 24
Mg, 25
Mg, and 26
Mg. There are also 19 artificial radioisotopes that have been discovered, ranging from 18
Mg to 40
Mg (with the exception of 39
Mg). The longest-lived of them is 28
Mg with a half-life of 20.915 hours. The isotopes lighter than the stable ones mostly decay to isotopes of sodium, while those heavier decay to isotopes of aluminium.
A precise measurement of the neutron-rich 40Mg in 2019 showed an unexpected difference in its nuclear structure, compared to the lighter neighboring isotopes.
