This is how carbon looks on a revised periodic table that uses intervals for the standard atomic weights of some elements. Standard atomic weights, those numbers emblazoned under the elements on the ...

For the first time those little numbers that appear beneath some of the commonest elements in the periodic table boxes are about to change from a single value to an interval of numbers An ...

Thank you for bringing to my attention the recent International Union of Pure & Applied Chemistry report “Atomic weights of the elements 2009” (C&EN, Dec. 20 ...

First 20 Elements Of The Periodic Table: The atomic number and symbols are important in chemistry. The atomic number of elements gives us an idea about the atomic structure of elements, such as how ...

Mass spectrometry—a technology that is constantly being made more accurate and reliable—is used every two years to revise the standard atomic weights of select elements. This year, the International ...

How heavy can an element be? An international team of researchers has found that ancient stars were capable of producing elements with atomic masses greater than 260, heavier than any element on the ...

The recent discovery of elements 113 and 115 will tell us more about the structure of the nucleus and the possible existence of the “island of stability”. The heaviest elements The periodic table of ...

Standard atomic weights, those numbers emblazoned under the elements on the periodic table, were once thought of as unchanging constants of nature. But researchers have tweaked the atomic weights of ...
