The standard atomic weight of each chemical element is determined and published by the Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights (CIAAW) of the International Union of Pure and Applied …

Atomic weight, ratio of the average mass of a chemical element’s atoms to some standard. Since 1961 the standard unit of atomic mass has been one-twelfth the mass of an atom of the isotope carbon-12. …

Sep 6, 2025 · Atomic weight is a fundamental concept in chemistry that reflects the average mass of atoms of an element, accounting for the natural abundance of its isotopes. Despite its name, atomic …

Jun 10, 2025 · Atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons in a single atom of an element. Atomic weight is the average mass of all atoms of an element, based on isotopes' abundance. When …

Jan 31, 2025 · By calculating an average of an element’s atomic masses, weighted by the natural abundance of each isotope, we obtain a weighted average mass called the atomic mass (also …

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.

Since 1902, the Commission regularly publishes critical evaluation of atomic weights of elements and below is the most recent definitive table of the standard atomic weights.
