From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Naturally occurring rhenium (Re) is 37.4% 185Re, which is stable, and 62.6% 187Re, which is unstable but has a very long half-life
(41.2109 years). Among elements with a known stable isotope, only indium and tellurium similarly occur with a stable isotope in lower
abundance than the long-lived radioactive isotope.
There are 33 other unstable isotopes recognized, the longest-lived of which are 183Re with a half-life of 70 days, 184Re with a half-life of
38 days, 186Re with a half-life of 3.7186 days, 182Re with a half-life of 64.0 hours, and 189Re with a half-life of 24.3 hours. There are also
numerous isomers, the longest-lived of which are 186mRe with a half-life of 200,000 years and 184mRe with a half-life of 169 days. All
others have half-lives less than a day.

Notes
Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from systematic trends. Spins with weak
assignment arguments are enclosed in parentheses.
Uncertainties are given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits. Uncertainty values denote one standard
deviation, except isotopic composition and standard atomic mass from IUPAC which use expanded uncertainties.
