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 ...

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.

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.

They might not be fundamental constants of nature, but atomic weights are one of the foundations on which modern chemistry is built, explains Juris Meija.

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.

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.

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

AS the Society is aware, the first table, containing the relative weights of the ultimate particles of gaseous and other bodies, was published as the eighth and last paragraph to a paper by Dalton ...

This has led the guardians of the periodic table – the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) – to decide that the atomic weights of bromine and magnesium are better accommodated by ...

Mendeleev’s periodic table, published in 1869, was a vertical chart that organized 63 known elements by atomic weight. This arrangement placed elements with similar properties into horizontal rows.
