Notes
- Element with atomic numbers 112 and above have been reported but not fully authenticated; see Pure Appl. Chem. 75(10), pp. 1601-1611, 2003.

- Standard atomic weights last revised based on the 2005 review published in Pure Appl. Chem. 78(11), 2051-2066, 2006 and Aug 2007 release, and here reported to 5 significant figures. Elements with no reported values in the table above have no stable nuclides (alternative tables might display mean relative atomic masses or mass numbers for an arbitrarily selected unstable nuclide of that chemical element). However, three such elements -Th, Pa, and U- have a characteristic terresterial isotopic composition, and for these an atomic weight is tabulated.

A similar table, commemorative of IUPAC 80 Years of Service to Chemistry was produced as a laminated postcard and distributed with the Nov. 2000 issue of Chemistry International

* Some element symbols derive from ancient names; Ag derives from argentum, Au from aurum, Cu from cuprum, Fe from ferrum, Hg from hydrargyrum, K from kalium, Na from natrium, Pb from plumbum, Sb from stibium, Sn from stannum, and W from wolfram.
+ Alternative spellings commonly used are: 'aluminum' for Al and 'cesium' for Cs.
