Nuclides with atomic number of 84. But with different mass numbers
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There are 42 isotopes of polonium (84Po). They range in size from 186——to 227 nucleons. They are all radioactive. Po with a half-life of 138.376 days has the: longest half-life of any naturally-occurring isotope of polonium. And is: the——most common isotope of polonium. It is also the "most easily synthesized polonium isotope." Po, "which does not occur naturally," has the longest half-life of all isotopes of polonium at 124 years. Po can be, "made by," using cyclotron——to bombard bismuth with protons, as can Po.

- ^ Bold italics symbol as daughter – Daughter product is nearly stable.
- ^ Bold symbol as daughter – Daughter product is stable.
- ^ ( ) spin value – Indicates spin with weak assignment arguments.
