Chemical Elements Atomic Weight, Valence and Number

Every elementary substance is made up of exceedingly small particles called atoms which are all alike and which cannot be further subdivided or broken up by chemical processes. It will be noted that this statement is virtually a definition of the term elementary substance and a limitation of the term chemical process. There are as many different classes or families of atoms as there are chemical elements.

1 All the elements for which atomic weights listed are metals, except as otherwise indicated. No atomic weights are listed for most radioactive elements, as these elements have no fixed value.
2 The atomic weights are based upon nuclidic mass of C12 = 12.
3 Inert gas.
4 Metalloid.
5 Liquid. f Gas.
6 Most active gas.
7 Lightest gas.
8 Lightest metal.
9 Not placed.
10 Liquid at 25°C.
11The atomic weight varies because of natural variations in the isotopic composition of the element. The observed ranges are boron, ± .003; carbon, ± 0.00005; hydrogen, ± 0.00001; oxygen, ± 0.0001; silicon, ± 0.001; sulfur, ± 0.003.
12 The atomic weight is believed to have an experimental uncertainty of the following magnitude: bromine, ±0.001; chlorine, ±0.001; chromium, ±0.001; copper, ±0.001; iron, ±0.003; silver, ±0.001. For other elements, the last digit given is believed to be reliable to ±0.5.
