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]. For the 2015 table the atomic weight of ytterbium has been revised [see ciaaw or Chem. Eng. News, 2015, 93(37), 9].

The discovery of elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 have been verified by IUPAC.

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.
