Tantalum - 73Ta: isotope data

Tantalum has only two isotopes and one of them, Ta-180, has one of the lowest natural abundances of all naturally occurring isotopes (0.012%). Ta-180 has only been produced in minute quantities and is very expensive. Ta-181 can be used for the production of W-178 which decays to Ta-178. Ta-178 emits low energy gamma rays which can be used for imaging purposes.

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 tantalum are listed (including any which occur naturally) below.
Isotope Mass / Da Natural abundance (atom %) Nuclear spin (I) Magnetic moment (μ/μN)
180Ta 179.947462 (4) 0.012 (2) 8
181Ta 180.947992 (3) 99.988 (2) 7/2 2.371
Isotope abundances of tantalum
Isotope abundances of tantalum. 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 tantalum are listed above. This table gives information about some radiosotopes of tantalum, their masses, their half-lives, their modes of decay, their nuclear spins, and their nuclear magnetic moments.
