Einsteinium (₉₉Es) is a synthetic element, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all synthetic elements, it has no stable isotopes. The first isotope to be discovered (in nuclear fallout from the Ivy Mike H-bomb test) was ²⁵³Es in 1952. There are 18 known radioisotopes from ²⁴⁰Es to ²⁵⁷Es, and 3 nuclear isomers (^250mEs, ^254mEs, and ^256mEs). The longest-lived isotope is ²⁵²Es with a half-life of 471.7 days, or around 1.293 years.
