Isotopes of radon

Template:Short description Template:Infobox radon isotopes There are 39 known isotopes of radon (₈₆Rn), from ¹⁹³Rn to ²³¹Rn; all are radioactive. The most stable isotope is ²²²Rn with a half-life of 3.8235 days, which decays into Template:SimpleNuclide. Six isotopes of radon, ^{217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222}Rn, occur in trace quantities in nature as decay products of, respectively, ²¹⁷At, ²¹⁸At, ²²³Ra, ²²⁴Ra, ²²⁵Ra, and ²²⁶Ra. ²¹⁷Rn and ²²¹Rn are produced in rare branches in the decay chain of trace quantities of ²³⁷Np; ²²²Rn (and also ²¹⁸Rn in a rare branch) is an intermediate step in the decay chain of ²³⁸U; ²¹⁹Rn is an intermediate step in the decay chain of ²³⁵U; and ²²⁰Rn occurs in the decay chain of ²³²Th.
