Scandium - 21Sc: isotope data

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 scandium are listed (including any which occur naturally) below.
Isotope Mass / Da Natural abundance (atom %) Nuclear spin (I) Magnetic moment (μ/μN)
45Sc 44.9559100 (14) 100 7/2 4.756483
Isotope abundances of scandium
Isotope abundances of scandium. 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 scandium are listed above. This table gives information about some radiosotopes of scandium, their masses, their half-lives, their modes of decay, their nuclear spins, and their nuclear magnetic moments.
