Xe130

Xe130 is the common shorthand for Xenon-130, a stable isotope of the noble gas xenon. Xenon has 36 protons and its atomic mass varies with the number of neutrons in its nucleus. In the case of Xenon-130, the nucleus contains 130 nucleons, meaning it has 74 neutrons (130 total nucleons - 36 protons = 74 neutrons). As a stable isotope, Xenon-130 does not undergo radioactive decay.

Xenon-130 is a naturally occurring isotope, found in trace amounts in the Earth's atmosphere and in the Earth's crust. Its abundance is relatively low compared to other xenon isotopes like Xenon-129 and Xenon-132. Due to its stability, Xe130 is not typically used in applications requiring radioactivity, such as medical imaging or radiometric dating. However, its presence is important in understanding the isotopic composition of xenon found in geological samples and in the atmosphere. Scientists study the relative abundance of different xenon isotopes, including Xe130, to gain insights into geological processes, the origin of the solar system, and even the detection of nuclear activities. Precise measurements of xenon isotopes are valuable tools in various scientific fields.
