Using the Table of Nuclides, which radioactive nuclide has the shortest half-life and which has the longest?

1) Which radioactive nuclide has the shortest half-life?

2) Which radioactive nuclide has the longest half-life?

I have to use the Table of Nuclides. I've searched through hundreds of pages and haven't been able to find it.

    It sounds like a table should have been given to you by your teacher; there's no "Table of Nuclides" in the way that there's a Periodic Table or the spectrochemical series. Iron is the most stable element with respect to decay; some of the shortest are in the superheavy elements, like Uuo and Uuq.

    If need be, check with your teacher tomorrow. They might have made a mistake.
