Talk:Isotopes of bismuth

message: Below the long lived isotope OE83Bi209 the next lowest OE isotope OE83Bi211 is noted to half life of only 2.14 minutes, whereas the next lower OE isotope OE83Bi213 is noted to have a half life of 46 minutes. This makes for an irregularity in a stability profile chart for this element.WFPM (talk) 16:50, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: So what? There is no law of nature that forbids such a pattern. Who cares if it is irregular? SBHarris 20:32, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

text: Please note that 128 is 2 above the magic number 126. You will notice that all N = 128 isotones after Bi are ridiculously unstable. 103.166.228.86 (talk) 05:01, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I decided to remove the superfluous double quotes around "stable" and "bred" in the first section. If acceptable, I may clean up the quotes further, as there might be some others worth removing. If "bred" needs further explanation, we could link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor if necessary. Feel free to let me know if anyone disagrees, thanks.

replies: text: You're right, these quotes are not in place. We don't do indirect wording in this encyclopedia, nor is it about the word itself (then again, in which case, italics should be used not "-quotes per WP:WORDSASWORDS). -DePiep (talk) 11:05, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Removing Superfluous Double Quotes

message: There's 2 different half-lives listed for it in the same page
If I recall correctly, in the paragraph before the table it's listed as 32.9 years, and in the table right below it as 31.55 years 91.230.13.164 (talk) 19:05, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inconsistencies about Bismuth 207 

message: 208Bi has slightly lower alpha decay energy than 209Bi, so they should have similar alpha decay half-lives. N = 125 is more stable than N = 126 at least from lead (Z = 82) on. 129.104.241.214 (talk) 12:52, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible alpha decay of <sup>208</sup>Bi 

message: Due to its high spin of 9-, β- or IT of 210mBi is not observed, and both have branching ratio expected to be < 3×10-5% (half-life > 1.01×1013 years). See https://www.nndc.bnl.gov/ensnds/210/Bi/adopted.pdf. 103.166.228.86 (talk) 04:58, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
