Naturally occurring isotopes

This table shows information about naturally occuring isotopes, their atomic masses, their natural abundances, their nuclear spins, and their magnetic moments. Further data for radioisotopes (radioactive isotopes) of americium are listed (including any which occur naturally) below.

Isotope abundances of americium
Isotope abundances of americium. In the above, the most intense ion is set to 100% since this corresponds best to the output from a mass spectrometer. This is not to be confused with the relative percentage isotope abundances which totals 100% for all the naturally occurring isotopes.

Radiosotope data

Further data for naturally occuring isotopes of americium are listed above. This table gives information about some radiosotopes of americium, their masses, their half-lives, their modes of decay, their nuclear spins, and their nuclear magnetic moments.
