STANDARD ATOMIC WEIGHTS

Standard atomic weights are CIAAW recommended values for atomic weights applicable to
all normal materials. 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.

Z Symbol Element Standard Atomic Weight Notes

FOOTNOTES Back to Top
g Geological materials 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 materials and that given in the table may exceed the stated uncertainty.
m Modified isotopic compositions may be found in commercially available material because
the material has been subjected to an undisclosed or inadvertent isotopic fractionation.
Substantial deviations in atomic weight of the element from that given in the table can occur.
r Range in isotopic composition of normal terrestrial material prevents a more precise standard
atomic weight being given; the tabulated atomic-weight value and uncertainty should be
applicable to normal materials.
Citation
The most recent Standard Atomic Weights are presented in this Table and they are based on the "Atomic
Weights 2013" report and on the subsequent revisions that were made by the CIAAW in 2015 and in 2017. The
IUPAC Technical Report "Atomic weights of the elements 2017" will be published in the Pure and Applied
Chemistry.

This Table can be cited as follows:

CIAAW. Atomic weights of the elements 2017. Available online at www.ciaaw.org.
There are three broad groups of elements depending on what is the main cause of the uncertainty of their
standard atomic weights:
(1) well-documented natural variations of isotopic abundances,
(2) our ability to determine the isotopic abundances, and
(3) our ability to precisely determine the atomic masses of the isotopes.
Elements in the first category are distinguished by an interval standard atomic weight.
The reported uncertainties of the standard atomic weights are such that the atomic -weight values of normal
materials are expected to lie in the given interval with great certitude. For instance, the standard atomic weight
of argon, [39.792, 39.963], indicates that atomic-weight values of argon in normal materials are expected to be
from 39.792 to 39.963. For iridium, the standard atomic weight 192.217(2) indicates that atomic -weight values
of iridium in normal materials are expected to be from 192.215 to 192.219.
For more information on the interpretation of the uncertainty please consult the recent IUPAC Technical
Report by Possolo et al.
