Iodine-131 is not natural, matter of fact it is a synthetically produced isotope (im doing this for my science assignment aswell)
it is made in stuff.
Iodine-131 is a radioactive isotope of the element iodine.

The thyroid gland is often imaged using a salt of iodine-131 as this gland has a high uptake of iodine.
Fission product xenon-131
Iodine 131 has a half-life of 8.0197 days. Barium has no half-life. So no, Iodine-131 is not more stable than barium-137.
Iodine-131 (not iodone) is a radioactive isotope of iodine: this isotope has important applications in the treatment of thyroid diseases.
Iodine is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 127.
The mass number for iodine is 131, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons. Iodine has 53 protons and 53 electrons, if neutral. To find how many neutrons iodine has subtract 53, the number of protons from the mass number of 131. This shows that iodine has 78 neutrons.
I-131.
Iodine 131 -> Xe 131 + e-
It's the same as uranium
