Molybdenum - 42Mo: isotope data

The Molybdenum isotope Mo-95 is used for the production of the medical radioisotope Ru-97. Mo-96 is used for the production of the radioisotopes Tc-96 and Tc-95m, both of which have a medical application. Most Mo isotopes are also used in nutrition studies in humans. Depleted Mo-95 has been suggested for use in UMo fuel elements for materials test (high flux) reactors.

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 molybdenum are listed (including any which occur naturally) below.

100Mo 99.907477 (6) 9.63 (23) 0
Isotope abundances of molybdenum
Isotope abundances of molybdenum. 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 molybdenum are listed above. This table gives information about some radiosotopes of molybdenum, their masses, their half-lives, their modes of decay, their nuclear spins, and their nuclear magnetic moments.
Isotope Mass / Da Half-life Mode of decay Nuclear spin Nuclear magnetic moment
90Mo 89.91394 5.7 h EC to 90Nb 0
91Mo 90.91175 15.5 m EC to 91Nb 9/2
93Mo 92.906811 3500 y EC to 93Nb 5/2
99Mo 98.907711 2.7476 d β- to 97Tc 1/2 0.375
