Mg25

Mg25, also known as Magnesium-25, is a radioactive isotope of magnesium with a half-life of approximately 9.8 seconds. It is produced through the decay of aluminum-25, which itself is a decay product of phosphorus-25. Mg25 is significant in the field of nuclear physics and astrophysics due to its role in the production of other isotopes and elements.

The isotope is primarily used in research to study nuclear reactions and the behavior of light elements.

Mg25 decays through beta-plus decay, emitting a positron and converting into sodium-25. This decay process is
