List of Elements extracted from the IUAPAC Commission on Atomic Weights and Isotopic Abundances. (http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iupac/). The atomic weights (called as well Atomic Mass) have been removed from the original table as they correspond to the average mass of the atoms of an element. This is a weighted average of the naturally-occurring isotopes and this is not relevant for astrophysical applications.
The quantities described in this table are:
- the atomic number Z, corresponding to the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element.
- the symbol
- the name
- the isotopic masses for light atomic species
- nuclear spins for light atomic species
Note that isotopic atomic species of a given element is uniquely identified by the mass number A, also called atomic mass number, which is the number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in an atomic nucleus. The full isotope symbol would also have the atomic number Z as a subscript to the left of the element symbol directly below the mass number: {}_{6}^{12}\mathrm{C}.
For the special case of Hydrogen, isotopic atomic species have specific symbols and names:
The names and symbols for elements 112-118 are under review. The temporary system [IUPACAt] recommended by J Chatt, Pure Appl. Chem., 51, 381-384 (1979) is used above.
The names of elements 101-109 were agreed in 1997 (see Pure Appl. Chem., 69, 2471-2473, 1997), for element 110 in 2003 (see Pure Appl. Chem., 75, 1613-1615, 2003) and for element 111 in 2004 (see Pure Appl. Chem., 76, 2101-2103, 2004).
