|mass number comment=(data not decisive){{efn|name="most stable isotope"|The most stable isotope of technetium cannot be determined based on existing data due to overlapping measurement uncertainties for the half-lives of the two longest-lived isotopes. The half-life of 97Tc with an uncertainty corresponding to one standard deviation is {{val|4.21|0.16}} million years, while that for 98Tc is {{val|4.2|0.3}} million years; these measurements have overlapping confidence intervals.{{NUBASE2020|ref}} }}
