Today, the periodic table is organized by atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus. But they didn’t know about protons then, so they organized everything by atomic weight.

Besides these seven elements, there are seventeen more whose atomic weights, as given in the following table, differ from the results of Prof. Clarke's coinpu- 1 Richards and Parker: Proceedings ...

The new table will reflect the fact that boron atoms can have atomic weights ranging from 10.806 to 10.821, depending on where in the world the element originates.

The last time international chemistry agencies really altered the periodic table was in 2009, when IUPAC decided to list the atomic weights of some elements as ranges, instead of single numbers.

1803 John Dalton (left), an English schoolteacher, compiles the first table of atomic weights for various elements, using units where the atomic weight of hydrogen was equal to 1.

For example, sulfur is commonly known to have a standard atomic weight of 32.065, but its real atomic weight can be anywhere between 32.059 and 32.076, depending on where the element is found.

Via USGS: The standard atomic weights of molybdenum, cadmium, selenium, and thorium have been changed based on recent determinations of terrestrial isotopic abundances.

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

The table has served chemistry students since 1869 when it was created by Dmitri Mendeleev, a cranky professor at the University of St. Petersburg. With a publisher’s deadline looming, Mendeleev ...

Bromine’s atomic weight has now switched from 79.904 to the interval [79.901, 79.907]. Magnesium’s atomic weight, meanwhile, was formerly 24.3050, but is now represented by the interval [24. ...
