IUPAC Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights.

ATOMIC WEIGHTS OF THE ELEMENTS

2013
These tables are based on the 2011 table at Pure Appl. Chem., 2013, 85, 1047-1078 with changes from for
the values of aluminium, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, caesium, cobalt, fluorine, gold, holmium, manganese,
molybdenum, niobium, phosphorus, praseodymium, scandium, selenium, thorium, thulium and yttrium [see ciaaw
or IUPAC website or Chem. Int. 2013, 35(6), 17-18].

A PDF format copy (1647 KBt) of the 2011 table is available from the abstract
World Wide Web version of atomic weight data originally prepared by G. P. Moss, from a file provided by D.
R. Lide.
Previous values may be consulted from the 1993 table, the 1995 table, the 1997 table, the 1999 table, the 2001
table, the 2005 table, the 2007 table, the 2009 table or the 2011 table.
The standard atomic weights of twelve elements having two or more stable isotopes have variability of atomic-
weight values in natural terrestrial materials. These are given in table 1 below. In the other lists the values quoted
are those suggested for material where the origin of the sample is unknown. For radioactive elements the isotope
with the longest half-life is quoted in parenthesis. The original paper should be consulted for full details of the
variation in atomic weight and the half life of the radioisotopes quoted below.
A number in parentheses indicates the uncertainty in the last digit of the atomic weight.
See below for the elements listed in Atomic Number Order or Name order.
See also a copy of the periodic table with atomic weights to five significant figures.

1. Geological specimens are known in which the element has an isotopic composition outside the limits for
normal material. The difference between the atomic weight of the element in such specimens and that given
in the Table may exceed the stated uncertainty.
2. Range in isotopic composition of normal terrestrial material prevents a more precise value being given; the
tabulated value should be applicable to any normal material.
3. Modified isotopic compositions may be found in commercially available material because it has been
subject to an undisclosed or inadvertant isotopic fractionation. Substantial deviations in atomic weight of
the element from that given in the Table can occur.
4. Element has no stable nuclides. The value enclosed in brackets, e.g. [209], indicates the mass number of
the longest-lived isotope of the element. However three such elements (Th, Pa, and U) do have a
characteristic terrestrial isotopic composition, and for these an atomic weight is tabulated.
5. The names and symbols for elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 are under review. The temporary system
recommended by J Chatt, Pure Appl. Chem., 1979, 51, 381-384 is used above.
6. See table 1 for details of range and original paper for the atomic weight of the element from different
sources.
