| Jan 9, 2018 at 17:39 | comment | added | Ian | Pedantically speaking, every element has an infinite number of isotopes. For example, there is a theoretical C-6, C-7, C-8, ... But we only refer to isotopes that we can isolate long enough to measure them. These need a "middle ground" of number of neutrons to be stable. | |
