Understanding this entry

Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. Properties are reference values and may depend on conditions and measurement conventions. An atomic weight is not the mass of every isotope. For elements without a standard atomic weight, a source may report an isotope mass number. Blank source values are shown as unavailable rather than estimated.
