Isotopes of bismuth (₈₃Bi)
α	206Tl
Standard atomic weight Ar°(Bi)
	208.98040±0.00001; 208.98±0.01 (abridged);

Bismuth (₈₃Bi) has 41 known isotopes, ranging from ¹⁸⁴Bi to ²²⁴Bi. Bismuth has no stable isotopes, but does have one very long-lived isotope; thus, the standard atomic weight can be given as 208.98040(1). Although bismuth-209 is now known to be radioactive, it has classically been considered to be a stable isotope because it has a half-life of approximately 2.01×10¹⁹ years, which is more than a billion times the age of the universe. Besides ²⁰⁹Bi, the most stable bismuth radioisotopes are ^210mBi with a half-life of 3.04 million years, ²⁰⁸Bi with a half-life of 368,000 years and ²⁰⁷Bi, with a half-life of 32.9 years, none of which occurs in nature. All other isotopes have half-lives under 1 year, most under a day. Of naturally occurring radioisotopes, the most stable is radiogenic ²¹⁰Bi with a half-life of 5.012 days. ^210mBi is unusual for being a nuclear isomer with a half-life multiple orders of magnitude longer than that of the ground state.

Bismuth-213

Bismuth-213 (²¹³Bi) has a half-life of 45 minutes and decays via alpha emission. Commercially, bismuth-213 can be produced by bombarding radium with bremsstrahlung photons from a linear particle accelerator, which populates its progenitor actinium-225. In 1997, an antibody conjugate with ²¹³Bi was used to treat patients with leukemia. This isotope has also been tried in targeted alpha therapy (TAT) program to treat a variety of cancers.^[7] Bismuth-213 is also found in the decay chain of uranium-233, which is the fuel bred by thorium reactors.

[4] Bi – Excited nuclear isomer.

[6] ( ) – Uncertainty (1σ) is given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits.

[TMS-7] # – Atomic mass marked #: value and uncertainty derived not from purely experimental data, but at least partly from trends from the Mass Surface (TMS).

[8] Bold half-life – nearly stable, half-life longer than age of universe.

[9] Modes of decay:

EC: Electron capture

IT: Isomeric transition

p: Proton emission

[10] Bold symbol as daughter – Daughter product is stable.

[11] ( ) spin value – Indicates spin with weak assignment arguments.

[TNN-12] # – Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from trends of neighboring nuclides (TNN).

[order-14] Order of ground state and isomer is uncertain.

[16] Formerly believed to be final decay product of 4n+1 decay chain

[17] Primordial radioisotope, also some is radiogenic from the extinct nuclide ²³⁷Np

[18] Formerly believed to be the heaviest stable nuclide

[us-19] Intermediate decay product of ²³⁸U

[as-20] Intermediate decay product of ²³⁵U
