Standard atomic weights are verbatim from NIST's Atomic Weights and Isotopic Compositions. Bracketed intervals like [1.00784, 1.00811] are NIST's notation for elements whose isotopic mix varies across natural samples; a value like 4.002602(2) carries its uncertainty in the last digit. Elements 95 through 118 have no standard atomic weight in NIST's table because every isotope is synthetic - the dash marks that honestly rather than inventing a number. Bottom line: only 94 elements occur naturally, and even their weights are intervals, not constants - a fact most periodic table posters round away. Number crunching next door: ASCII table for character codes, GiB to GB for the decimal-vs-binary trap, Scoville scale table for a different kind of chemistry ladder.

The periodic table as a working list rather than a poster: all 118 elements with their number, symbol, name and the standard atomic weight NIST publishes - filter to find an element by symbol, name, number, or category, and click any row to copy its symbol.

The weights are verbatim from NISTโ€™s atomic weights table, including its honest notation: bracketed intervals for elements whose natural isotopic mix varies, and uncertainties in the final digits.

How to use

  1. Type a symbol (Fe), a name (iron), a number (26) or a category (gas) - the table narrows live.
  2. Click any row to copy the element symbol for a lab note or a formula.
  3. Read the weights column with NIST notation in mind: [1.00784, 1.00811] is an interval across natural samples, 4.002602(2) means ยฑ0.000002 on the last digit.

Frequently asked questions

Why do some weights have brackets or parentheses?

NIST notation: bracketed intervals like [1.00784, 1.00811] mark elements - hydrogen among them - whose isotopic composition differs between natural sources, so no single number is honest. Parentheses give the uncertainty: 4.002602(2) is 4.002602 ยฑ 0.000002.

Why do elements 95 to 118 show a dash instead of a weight?

They have no stable isotope at all - americium and everything after is synthetic, so no natural isotopic mix exists to average. NISTโ€™s table lists no standard atomic weight for them; the dash says exactly that instead of inventing a number.

What is the difference between atomic weight and mass number?

Mass number is a count - protons plus neutrons in one isotope, always a whole number. Atomic weight is the weighted average across isotopes, which is why chlorine is 35.45 rather than 35 or 36.

Which element has the heaviest standard atomic weight?

Among naturally occurring elements, uranium at 238.02891(3) - element 92. Everything beyond bismuth (83) is radioactive, and everything beyond uranium does not occur naturally in meaningful amounts.
