The ground and first excited state structural properties like binding energy, charge radius, deformation parameter, pairing energy, and two-neutron separation energy for the isotopic chain of Z= 122 are analyzed. The axially deformed relativistic mean-field formalism with NL3* force parameter is used for the present analysis. Based on the analysis of binding energy per particle, chemical potential and single-particle spacing, we predict the isotopes of Z =122 with N = 180. 182 and 184 are the possible stable nuclei over the considered isotopic chain. The α-decay energies and the decay half-lives of <sup>302</sup>122 chains are investigated using four different empirical formulae. The results of our calculations are compared with the available experimental data and Finite Range Droplet Model predictions. We also established a correlation for the decay energy with the half-lives for the considered α-decay chains for various empirical formulae.
