Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Number of stable nuclides with neutron number n.
%C Radioactive nuclides with a half-life of 700 million years or greater (i.e., half-life longer than or equal to that of uranium-235) are included.
%C The last known term is a(177) = 0.
%C Sum_{n=0..177} a(n) = 286, which is the number of known stable nuclides.
%C For n <= 126, a(n) = 0 for n = 19, 35, 39, 45, 61, 89, 115, 123.
%C The total number of stable nuclides with an even neutron number is 220, while for odd neutron number it's 66.
%C The number of even numbers k such that a(k) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are 5, 6, 28, 19, 6, 1, 1. There are 46 odd numbers such that a(k) = 1 and only 10 such that a(k) = 2.
