Calcium has several isotopes, which are variants of the element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The isotopes of calcium are: 1. **Calcium-40 (⁴⁰Ca)** - The most abundant and stable isotope, making up about 97% of naturally occurring calcium. It has 20 protons and 20 neutrons.
Calcium-48 (\(^{48}\text{Ca}\)) is an isotope of the element calcium, which has the atomic number 20. This specific isotope has 20 protons and 28 neutrons, giving it a mass number of 48. Calcium-48 is one of the most stable isotopes of calcium, with a very long half-life, and it is of particular interest in nuclear physics and astrophysics due to its unique properties.
