For most practical purposes, lutetium can be regarded as stable, though it is slightly radioactive. 97.41% of lutetium found in nature is stable, and 2.59% is of an isotope with a half life of 37,800,000,000 years. Like all other elements, lutetium has synthetic radioactive isotopes.
Lutetium is classified under Group 3, an element under Lanthanides.
Lutetium, with the chemical symbol Lu, is the chemical element with the atomic number 71.
