Berkelium (97Bk) is anartificial element, and thus astandard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all artificial elements, it has nostable isotopes. The firstisotope to be synthesized was243Bk in 1949. There are nineteen knownradioisotopes, from233Bk to253Bk (except235Bk and237Bk), and sevennuclear isomers. The longest-lived isotope known is247Bk with ahalf-life of 1,380 years; however248Bk, which has not been observed to decay, may live longer.

The isotope commonly used in study, though, is249Bk as is it the only that can be usefully extracted from reactoractinides and the only ever available in weighable quantity.

  2. ^( ) – Uncertainty (1σ) is given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits.
  3. ^# – Atomic mass marked #: value and uncertainty derived not from purely experimental data, but at least partly from trends from the Mass Surface (TMS).
  4. ^Modes of decay:
    EC:Electron capture


    SF:Spontaneous fission
  5. ^( ) spin value – Indicates spin with weak assignment arguments.
  6. ^ab# – Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from trends of neighboring nuclides (TNN).
  7. ^NUBASE2020 question-marks this decay, but it has been observed directly, see e.g. the IAEA Chart of Nuclides.
  8. ^Order of ground state and isomer is uncertain.

  4. ^Plus radium (element 88). While actually a sub-actinide, it immediately precedes actinium (89) and follows a three-element gap of instability afterpolonium (84) where no nuclides have half-lives of at least four years (the longest-lived nuclide in the gap isradon-222 with a half life of less than fourdays). Radium's longest lived isotope, at 1,600 years, thus merits the element's inclusion here.

    "The isotopic analyses disclosed a species of mass 248 in constant abundance in three samples analysed over a period of about 10 months. This was ascribed to an isomer of Bk248 with a half-life greater than 9 [years]. No growth of Cf248 was detected, and a lower limit for the β half-life can be set at about 104 [years]. No alpha activity attributable to the new isomer has been detected; the alpha half-life is probably greater than 300 [years]."
  7. ^This is the heaviest nuclide with a half-life of at least four years before the "sea of instability".
  8. ^Excluding those "classically stable" nuclides with half-lives significantly in excess of232Th; e.g., while113mCd has a half-life of only fourteen years, that of113Cd is eightquadrillion years.
