Isotopes of phosphorus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Although phosphorus (P) has multiple isotopes, only one of these isotopes is stable; as such, it is considered a monoisotopic element.
Standard atomic mass: 30.973762(2) u

[edit] Notes

  • Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from systematic trends. Spins with weak assignment arguments are enclosed in parentheses.
  • Uncertainties are given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits. Uncertainty values denote one standard deviation, except isotopic composition and standard atomic mass from IUPAC which use expanded uncertainties.
