Atomic Masses

This table lists selected isotopes. Numbers in parentheses give uncertainties in the last quoted digits; for example, 3.52(18) means 3.52 ± 0.18. Abundance ranges show natural variation. See the table notes for sources, decay-mode conventions, and metastable-state assignments.

Table notes
Masses are for neutral atoms in their nuclear ground states, except for the free neutron and the explicitly labeled metastable state. Sources: AME2020 (atomic masses), NUBASE2020 (half-lives and decay modes), and CIAAW 2024 (natural isotopic compositions). Only selected isotopes are listed, so an element’s listed abundances need not sum to 100%.
Masses are rounded to at most six decimal places. Parentheses give the uncertainty in the last quoted digits; for example, 3.52(18) min means 3.52 ± 0.18 min. Mass uncertainties smaller than half the last displayed unit are omitted. A superscript # marks a mass estimated from systematic trends. Carbon-12 has mass exactly 12 u by definition. Ranges describe natural variation in normal terrestrial materials; other abundances are representative values with their quoted uncertainties. Unusual materials can fall outside these ranges.
Only confirmed decay branches with evaluated fractions of at least 0.1% are listed. EC means electron capture, SF means spontaneous fission, and double β− means double-beta decay. EC/β+ denotes a combined electron-capture/positron-emission branch when NUBASE does not separate the two contributions; it does not establish a separate branching fraction for each. “Stable” follows the evaluation and does not imply that every energetically possible decay has been excluded.
The superscript m identifies a metastable nuclear state. For rutherfordium-261, the 2.1(2) s and 74(5) s entries follow the ground-state and isomer assignments in NUBASE2020, which flags their ordering as uncertain. Ground-state/isomer ordering is also uncertain for lawrencium-257 and seaborgium-263; the rows here follow the evaluation’s ground-state assignments. The rutherfordium-261m mass is estimated from the AME2020 ground-state mass and the NUBASE2020 excitation energy, with uncertainty based on the evaluated isomer mass excess.
