The abundances of the naturally occurring isotopes of neon Neon (10 Ne) naturally occurs as three stable isotopes:20 Ne ,21 Ne , and22 Ne . Their stated natural abundances are those measured inair .
In addition, 17 artificial radioisotopes have been discovered, ranging from15 Ne to34 Ne , all short-lived: the most stable is24 Ne with a half-life of 3.38 minutes. All others are under a minute, and most under a second. The isotopes lighter than the stable ones usually decay tofluorine oroxygen , while heavier ones decay tosodium .

^ m Ne – Excitednuclear isomer .^ ( ) – Uncertainty (1σ ) is given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits. ^ # – Atomic mass marked #: value and uncertainty derived not from purely experimental data, but at least partly from trends from the Mass Surface (TMS). ^ Modes of decay: ^ Bold symbol as daughter – Daughter product is stable.^ ( ) spin value – Indicates spin with weak assignment arguments. ^ Has 2halo protons. Daughter products other than neon
