171: 91: 64: 101: 662:. It is a long list of descriptions. I'd expect some differentiation; maybe distinction (subsections) by discovery/history, theories, research, importance, meaningfulness in RL/in science. Or: more of a storyline. This applies for the current section, and (more so?) for a standalone article. As it stands now, it is not inviting and after reading the question remains: 'all true but why is 229m relevant?'. 33: 356:
It is reported that 230_Th is 0.02% of thorium, Its half life is given as 75,380 years. it therefore decays 1.405e10/7.538e4 times as fast as 232_Th. That is more than 186 thousand. How on earth can 230_Th be even as much as 0.02% of existing thorium? It is a great-great-granddaughter of 238_U. So
209:
The most common and stable isotope of thorium is Th-232, which has 90 protons and 142 neutrons, neither of which is a magic number. On the other hand, lead-208 has magic numbers for both protons and neutrons, 82 + 126 = 208, and bismuth-209 has a magic number for neutrons: 83 + 126 = 209, and it is
385:
The 0.02% figure is a deep-sea thing. Uranium is soluble under those conditions, but thorium is not. As such Th-230 accumulates in the sediment to measurable levels. It should really rather be listed as 0.02±0.02% as on the
225:
Because all the closed nuclear shells in the world will not save you from being so far from the beta stability line. That doom is governed by the weak force, not the strong force which is related to nuclear shells.
161: 813: 845: 754:
Th and Th are potentially capable of double beta plus decay, and Th is potentially capable of double beta minus decay, although the estimated half-life should be very long.
840: 151: 382:
Th deposits generally are nearly pure 232, with no significant amounts of 230. It's uranium deposits that will give you the 230 (you can purify out the Th-230 from them).
482: 478: 464: 298: 294: 280: 835: 180: 74: 850: 696: 567: 641: 783: 755: 736: 648:: " 'Main' because of IAR: Remarkably low-lying isomer"). This is not an absolute rule for article creation, but supportive it is. So: a Go. 211: 665:
3. Th? I leave it to others to think whether its ground state isotope, Th, could be the article (strong relationship between the two?).

Here's another question: Do common thorium deposits contain the 230 isotope, or does it mainly appear in uranium deposits?
