Abridged Standard Atomic Weights

The Commission does acknowledge that the full Table of Standard Atomic Weights might provide too many details. Abridged standard atomic weights are quoted to five significant figures unless such precision cannot be attained due to the variability of isotopic composition in normal materials or due to the limitations of the measurement capability.

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.

The most recent Standard Atomic Weights are presented in this Table and they are based on the "Atomic Weights 2021" report. Standard Atomic Weights of gadolinium, lutetium, and zirconium have been revised by the CIAAW in 2024 and these revisions are included in this table.

In 2013, the Commission recommended that standard atomic weights are best abridged to five digits.
