Isotopes of fluorine
Nuclides with atomic number of 9 but with different mass numbers / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short by simply answering these key questions:
Can you list the top facts and stats about Fluorine-19?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
SHOW ALL QUESTIONS
Fluorine (9F) has 18 known isotopes ranging from 13
F
to 31
F
(with the exception of 30
F
) and two isomers (18m
F
and 26m
F
). Only fluorine-19 is stable and naturally occurring in more than trace quantities; therefore, fluorine is a monoisotopic and mononuclidic element.

The longest-lived radioisotope is 18
F
; it has a half-life of 109.734(8) min. All other fluorine isotopes have half-lives of less than a minute, and most of those less than a second. The least stable known isotope is 14
F
, whose half-life is 500(60) yoctoseconds,[4] corresponding to a resonance width of 910(100) keV.
