  • Technetium (Tc): The Lightest Element Without Stable Isotopes - Atomic Number 43
    The lightest element on the periodic table with no stable isotopes is Technetium (Tc).

    Here's why:

    * Technetium is a transition metal with atomic number 43.

    * All isotopes of Technetium are radioactive, meaning they decay over time. This is why it doesn't have any stable isotopes.

    * Hydrogen (H), Helium (He), Lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be), Boron (B), Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), Fluorine (F), and Neon (Ne) all have stable isotopes.

    * Technetium comes before these elements on the periodic table, making it the lightest element with no stable isotopes.
