Natural
holmium (
67Ho) contains one
observationally stable isotope,
165Ho. The below table lists 36 isotopes spanning
140Ho through
175Ho as well as 33
nuclear isomers. Among the known synthetic
radioactive isotopes; the most stable one is
163Ho, with a half-life of 4,570 years. All other radioisotopes have half-lives not greater than 1.117 days in their ground states (although the metastable
166m1Ho has a half-life of about 1,200 years), and most have half-lives under 3 hours.
