Isotopes of holmium

Short description: List of isotopes having 67 protons in their nuclei

Natural holmium (67Ho) contains one observationally stable isotope, 165Ho. The below table lists 36 isotopes spanning 140Ho through 175Ho as well as 33 nuclear isomers. Among the known synthetic radioactive isotopes; the most stable one is 163Ho, with a half-life of 4,570 years. All other radioisotopes have half-lives not greater than 1.117 days in their ground states (although the metastable 166m1Ho has a half-life of about 1,200 years), and most have half-lives under 3 hours.

Theoretically, the only "stable" isotope of holmium, 165Ho, as well as all nuclides in the beta-decay stable isobars with mass number ≥165, can go alpha decay, hence 164Dy is the heaviest theoretically stable nuclide.
