Isotopes of bromine

Bromine (Br) has two stable isotopes, ⁷⁹Br and ⁸¹Br, and 30 known radioisotopes, the most stable of which is ⁷⁷Br, with a half-life of 57.036 hours. Bromine and chlorine are the only halogens with more than one stable isotope.
Relative atomic mass: 79.904(1)

Notes

• Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from systematic trends. Spins with weak assignment arguments are enclosed in parentheses.
• Uncertainties are given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits. Uncertainty values denote one standard deviation, except isotopic composition and standard atomic mass from IUPAC, which use expanded uncertainties.
