IUPAC Commission on atomic weights and isotopic abundances
The biennial review of atomic weight, A[sub r](E), determinations and other cognate data has resulted in changes for the standard atomic weight of indium from 114.82[+-]0.01 to 114.818[+-]0.003, for tungsten from 183.85[+-]0.03 to 183.84[+-]0.01 and for osmium from 190.2[+-]190.23[+-]0.03 due to new high precision measurements. Recent investigations on silicon and antimony confirmed the presently accepted A[sub r] values. The footnote [open quotes]g[close quotes] was added for carbon and potassium because it has come to the notice of the Commission that isotope abundance variations have been found in geological specimens in which these elements have an isotopic composition outside the limits for normal material. The value of 272 is recommended for the [sup 14]N/[sup 15]N ratio of N[sub 2] in air for the calculation of atom percent [sup 15]N from measured [sigma][sup 15]N values. Because many elements have a different isotopic composition in non-terrestrial materials, recent data on non-terrestrial material are included in this report for the information of the interested scientific community. 67 refs., 2 figs., 5 tabs.
