A given atom has an atomic mass approximately equal (within 1%) to its mass number times the atomic mass unit (for example the mass of a nitrogen-14 is roughly 14 u).
Among more common minerals, oxides and sulfides tend to have a higher specific gravity as they include elements with higher atomic mass.
At least 25 nuclear isomers have been described, ranging in atomic mass from 84 to 104. Within this range, only 96 Nb, 101 Nb, and 103 Nb do not have isomers.
At least 10 nuclear isomers have been described, ranging in atomic mass from 66 to 84. The most stable of arsenic's isomers is 68m As with a half-life of 111 seconds.
For each element name, symbol, atomic number, and mean atomic mass value for the natural isotopic composition of each element are shown.
Ditellurium dihalides tend to get less stable as the halides become lower in atomic number and atomic mass.
