Isotope "nuclide", and is still sometimes used in contexts where "nuclide" might be more appropriate, such as nuclear technology and nuclear medicine. An isotope and/or nuclide is specified by the name of the particular element (this indicates the atomic number) followed by a hyphen and the mass number (e.g. helium-3, helium-4, carbon-12, carbon-14, uranium-235 and uranium-239). When a chemical symbol is used, e.g. "C" for carbon, standard notation (now known as "AZE notation" because "A" is the mass number, "Z" the atomic number, and E for element) is to indicate the mass number (number of nucleons) with a superscript at the
Isotopes of moscovium Isotopes of moscovium Moscovium (Mc) is a synthetic element, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all synthetic elements, it has no stable isotopes. The first isotope to be synthesized was Mc in 2004. There are four known radioisotopes from Mc to Mc. The longest-lived isotope is Mc with a half-life of 0.8 seconds. The table below contains various combinations of targets and projectiles which could be used to form compound nuclei with Z=115. Each entry is a combination for which calculations have provided estimates for cross section yields from various neutron evaporation channels. The channel with
