Abstract
The following table lists the atomic number Z, atomic weight A, and density ρ of some common elements and compounds, together with their chemical symbol and crystal structure, using the notation: a = amorphous, b = body-centered cubic, c = cubic, f = face-centered cubic, h = hexagonal, l = liquid, o = orthorhombic, r = rhombohedral, t = tetragonal.
