Naturally occurring xenon (54Xe) consists of nine isotopes: seven stable isotopes and two very long-lived radioactive isotopes: double electron capture has been observed in 124Xe (half-life 1.1 ± 0.2stat ± 0.1sys×1022 years), and double beta decay in 136Xe (half-life 2.18 ×1021 years), which are among the longest measured half-lives of all nuclides. The isotopes 126Xe and 134Xe are also predicted to undergo double beta decay, but such decay processes have not been observed.
