Naturally occurring vanadium (V) is composed of one stable isotope

51
V and one radioactive isotope
50
V with a half-life of
1.510
17
years. 24 artificial radioisotopes have been characterized (in the range of mass number between 40 and 65) with the most
stable being
49
V with a half-life of 330 days, and
48
V with a half-life of 15.9735 days. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have
half-lives shorter than an hour, the majority of them below 10 seconds, the least stable being
42
V with a half-life shorter than 55
nanoseconds, with all of the isotopes lighter than it, and none of the heavier, have unknown half-lives. In 4 isotopes, metastable
excited states were found (including 2 metastable states for
60
V), which adds up to 5 meta states.
The primary decay mode before the most abundant stable isotope
51
V is electron capture. The next most common mode is beta
decay. The primary decay products before
51
V are element 22 (titanium) isotopes and the primary products after are element 24
(chromium) isotopes.

Notes
Geologically exceptional samples are known in which the isotopic composition lies outside the reported range. The
uncertainty in the atomic mass may exceed the stated value for such specimens.
Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from systematic trends. Spins with weak
assignment arguments are enclosed in parentheses.
Uncertainties are given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits. Uncertainty values denote one
standard deviation, except isotopic composition and standard atomic mass from IUPAC which use expanded uncertainties.
Nuclide masses are given by IUPAP Commission on Symbols, Units, Nomenclature, Atomic Masses and Fundamental
Constants (SUNAMCO)
Isotope abundances are given by IUPAC Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights
