Talk:Isotopes of oganesson

All data is theoretical?
Surely not all as the half-life is stated without a '#'. So at least that data is accurate... the opening paragraph needs to be changed accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.63.144 (talk) 19:28, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Target-projectile combinations table
The "Attempt result" column of the Target-projectile combinations table doesn't look right. Specifically, I would expect 294Uuo to be "successful" and 297Uuo to be "failure to date" (judging by the contents of the rest of the article), but they seem to be reversed.

 * Technically the name is correct but the labeling was off. Nuclear_reaction. You form a metastable "compound nucleus" which releases some of its extra energy by "boiling" off some neutrons. In this case goes to 297*, boils off 3n and is left with 294. Nergaal (talk) 00:30, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Conversation in the article
User:65.33.153.16 added the following to this page, apparently in response to my reversion of his edit:

"This adds up to 293 yet you claim it to be 297 and yet you declare having discovered 294. I suggest you check your sources."

I felt the talk page was a more appropriate place for this comment.

As for my response... please note that the mention of Og-293 is scripted to not actually appear on the page; this is because it was retracted after it was discovered that Victor Ninov had fabricated the data. Magic9mushroom (talk) 08:30, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Og-297
If it a successful reaction, why isn't a confirmed isotope? Porygon-Z 19:33, 2 April 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Porygon-Z474 (talk • contribs)


 * As explained in the article (and oganesson), 297Og is the excited compound nucleus formed through fusion that de-excites by emitting energy and three neutrons; thus, the isotope 294Og is synthesized instead of 297Og. ComplexRational (talk) 02:39, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh I get it so there are theoretically more isotopes, its just they de-excites into them. Wait, isn't that called part a decay chain? Porygon-Z 11:56, 5 April 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Porygon-Z474 (talk • contribs)
 * It is not exactly part of a decay chain. The isotope 297Og is never actually produced, as the excited system with 297 nucleons promptly (less than 10-12 seconds) emits three neutrons to form 294Og - see compound nucleus and its linked articles for more information.
