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 ...

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 ...

Conventional neutron numbers are based on the approximations that the mass of the electron is zero and that those of the proton and neutron are each equal to unity. It was shown, by using the exact ...

A team led by nuclear physicists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has reported the first direct measurements of the mass numbers for the nuclei of two ...

Part of Combined Science Structures, trends, chemical reactions, quantitative chemistry and analysis 25% of chlorine atoms are 37 Cl and 75% are 35 Cl. The weighted mean mass of chlorine is 35.5. The ...
