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 ...
Nineteen elements on the periodic table — including gold, cadmium, arsenic and aluminum — are getting their atomic weights adjusted. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) ...
\({\%~of~an~element} = \frac{mass~of~an~element~in~the~compound}{relative~formula~mass~M_r} \times 100\) There are six atoms of hydrogen in the compound, so the mass ...
Precise values for the masses of the nuclei of the simplest atoms, such as hydrogen and helium, are crucial for experiments targeting big unsolved problems in physics. A technique known as ...
