Lawrencium (103Lr) 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 258Lr in 1961. There are fourteen known isotopes from 251Lr to 266Lr, except 263Lr and 265Lr, and seven isomers. The longest-lived known isotope is 266Lr with a half-life of 11 hours.
