Atomic Mass of Hydrogen measured
kg/molThe standard atomic weight of hydrogen, 1.0080 g/mol — the lightest entry on the periodic table and the anchor of the original mass scale.
Atomic Mass of Carbon measured
kg/molThe standard atomic weight of carbon, 12.011 g/mol — the element that anchored the atomic mass scale from 1961 until the 2019 redefinition.
Atomic Mass of Nitrogen measured
kg/molThe standard atomic weight of nitrogen, 14.007 g/mol — the divisor behind every fertiliser grade and every mg/L as N in a water report.
Atomic Mass of Oxygen measured
kg/molThe standard atomic weight of oxygen, 15.999 g/mol — the reference element for chemical atomic masses from Berzelius until 1961.
Atomic Mass of Sodium measured
kg/molThe standard atomic weight of sodium, 22.98976928 g/mol — a mononuclidic element, so the value is known to eleven significant figures.
Atomic Mass of Chlorine measured
kg/molThe standard atomic weight of chlorine, 35.45 g/mol — the textbook example of a fractional atomic weight produced by isotope mixing.
Atomic Mass of Calcium measured
kg/molThe standard atomic weight of calcium, 40.078 g/mol — the ion that dominates water hardness and the scale it leaves behind.
Atomic Mass of Iron measured
kg/molThe standard atomic weight of iron, 55.845 g/mol — the element with the highest binding energy per nucleon, where fusion stops paying.
Atomic Mass of Sulfur measured
kg/molThe standard atomic weight of sulfur, 32.06 g/mol — the divisor for sulfate, sulfuric acid and every fuel sulfur specification.
