Vanadium is composed of 2 isotopes V-50 (0.3%) and V-51 (99.7%).

V-50 does decay.

The half-life was found to be 9.0×1016 and 6.9×1016 years respectively for the two modes of decay V50-EC-Ti50*-(1.58 MeV) - Ti50 and V50---Cr50*-(0.78 MeV)-Cr50.

Vanadium can be dangerous if consumed in high amounts. Chronic exposure to high levels of vanadium has been associated with adverse health effects, including respiratory issues, skin irritation, and potentially negative impacts on the reproductive system. It's important to follow recommended guidelines for vanadium intake to avoid any potential risks.

Yes.

Your gastrointestinal system don't like Vanadium. Inhalation exposure to Vanadium results in adverse effects on your respiratory system. Exposure to more than 35mg of Vanadium results in immediate danger to yo life and health, and can totally kill you or cause permanent health issues.

Vanadium is harmful in large quantities.

large consumption can result in death.

breathing in large quantities can also lead to lung irritation

small quantities are not seen as harmful.

Vanadium is a chemical element that has 23 protons in its nucleus. It has several different isotopes, which means that there will be different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus of its different isotopes. The isotope Va-51 is stable, and has 28 neutrons in it nucleus. The isotope Va-50 is unstable, but has a really long half-life, and it has 27 neutrons in its nucleus. These are the two naturally occurring isotopes of vanadium, but there are others that have been synthesized. We use the term isotope to describe different atoms of the same element that have differing numbers of neutrons in their nuclei.
