__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__

Useful standard reference for isotopes recommended for use on pages covered by Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements.

Verification

Diagrams in the first few pages of NUBASE that represent trends in nuclides. The chart of nuclides on page 11 (page 12 of the PDF document) illustrates the most common decay mode of each nuclide as well as the lightest and heaviest isotope of each element.

Naturally occurring isotopes and atomic weights, the abundance for each isotope can be readily verified in the NUBASE data. The sums of the abundances for all naturally occurring isotopes must add up to 1 (100%).

Determining decay products for each stated decay mode is also a routine calculation, so it is sufficient to cite either the decay mode or the decay product by itself.

When there are exceptions, most often for isotopes discovered more recently than NUBASE was published, add an additional citation.
