Neon (10Ne) possesses three stable isotopes:
Ne
,
Ne
, and
Ne
. In addition, 17 radioactive isotopes have been discovered, ranging from
Ne
to
Ne
, all short-lived. The longest-lived is
Ne
with a half-life of 3.38(2) min. All others are under a minute, most under a second. The least stable is
Ne
with a half-life of 770(300) ys (7.7(3.0)×10 s). See isotopes of carbon for notes about the measurement. Light radioactive neon isotopes usually decay to fluorine or oxygen, while heavier ones decay to sodium.

This table header & footer: |
- Ne – Excited nuclear 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:
n: Neutron emission p: Proton emission - Bold symbol as daughter – Daughter product is stable.
- ( ) spin value – Indicates spin with weak assignment arguments.
- Has 2 halo protons.
- ^ Decay mode shown is energetically allowed, but has not been experimentally observed to occur in this nuclide.
- The isotopic composition refers to that in air.
