ATOMIC MASS:
The relative atomic mass of an element. This is the
average of the atomic masses of all the forms of an element. In cases
where the relative atomic mass is not known, the atomic mass of an
element’s most stable form is given within brackets.
STATE:
The state of an element at 20°C (68°F).
DISCOVERY:
The year in which an element was discovered,
along with the names of the discoverers. When different people
have discovered an element separately, individual dates are given
for each discoverer.
