Abstract

Atomic weights of the elements are the indicators for what is possible in chemical measurements. With very few exceptions, one cannot perform chemical measurements with more precision than the underlying atomic weights have. While determining the atomic weights and the corresponding isotopic compositions of the elements might seem like research topics from a bygone era, recent efforts in revising the International System of Units illustrate the continued relevance of this topic.
