Copernicium (112Cn) 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 synthesized was 277Cn in 1996. There are seven known radioisotopes (with one more unconfirmed); the longest-lived isotope is 285Cn with a half-life of 30 seconds.
