Thallium (₈₁Tl) has 41 isotopes with atomic masses that range from 176 to 216. ²⁰³Tl and ²⁰⁵Tl are the only stable isotopes and ²⁰⁴Tl is the most stable radioisotope with a one-half-life of 3.78 years. ²⁰⁷Tl, with a one-half-life of iv.77 minutes, has the longest half-life of naturally occurring Tl radioisotopes. All isotopes of thallium are either radioactive or observationally stable, meaning that they are predicted to be radioactive simply no actual decay has been observed.

Thallium-202 (half-life 12.23 days) can exist made in a cyclotron^[three] while thallium-204 (half-life iii.78 years) is made past the neutron activation of stable thallium in a nuclear reactor.^[four]

In the fully ionized state, the isotope ²⁰⁵Tl becomes beta-radioactive, decomposable to ²⁰⁵Lead,^[5] but ²⁰³Tl remains stable.

²⁰⁵Tl is the decay product of bismuth-209, an isotope that was once thought to be stable merely is now known to undergo alpha decay with an extremely long half life of 2.01×10¹⁹ y.^[6] ²⁰⁵Tl is at the terminate of the neptunium series decay concatenation.

Thallium-201 [edit]

Thallium-201 (²⁰¹Tl) is a synthetic radioisotope of thallium. It has a half-life of 73 hours and decays by electron capture, emitting 10-rays (~70–80 keV), and photons of 135 and 167 keV in ten% full abundance.^[10] Thallium-201 is synthesized by the neutron activation of stable thallium in a nuclear reactor,^[10] ^[eleven] or by the ²⁰³Tl(p, 3n)²⁰¹Atomic number 82 nuclear reaction in cyclotrons, as ²⁰¹Atomic number 82 naturally decays to ²⁰¹Tl afterwards.^[12] It is a radiopharmaceutical, as information technology has skillful imaging characteristics without excessive patient radiation dose. It is the most popular isotope used for thallium nuclear cardiac stress tests.^[13]
