I`ve been searching for that and I cannot find it. I`ve been looking for it, for example, in Wolfram Alpha`s list of decay chains and it is not included anywhere. Can you people help me?
The most commonly used reaction to produce lithium-6 is the nuclear reaction between lithium-7 and a neutron. This reaction yields two particles, a tritium nucleus and a lithium-6 nucleus.
Lithium-6 is used in a variety of reactions in the field of nuclear physics and engineering. It is often used as a target material for neutron production, and can also be used to produce tritium for use in nuclear weapons or in fusion reactions.
No, lithium-6 is not a stable isotope. It is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope with a half-life of about 840 million years. However, it is relatively stable and does not pose a significant health risk.
Yes, lithium-6 can be artificially produced through various nuclear reactions. For example, it can be produced by bombarding lithium-7 with protons, deuterons, or alpha particles in a particle accelerator.
Lithium-6 has a mass number of 6 and an atomic number of 3, making it the lightest stable isotope of lithium. It has a low natural abundance of about 7.5% and is highly reactive, often used in batteries and other industrial applications.
