Takeaway
  • Recommended or revised 11 times between 1902 and 2024 (first record 1902, latest revision 1979).
  • Of 3 revisions whose previous recommendation had an uncertainty, 1 (1971) put the new value outside the previous (expanded) range.
  • The current standard atomic weight is 39.0983(1) (recommended in 1979).
