Question

Atomic weights are not provided, but please use rounded-off values to the nearest whole number.
(examples: 24.305, use "24"; 107.8682, use "108"; 1.00784, use "1"; 15.999, use "16")

Add trailing zeros to complete your answer to the 3rd decimal place, if necessary.
(examples: if your answer is "62.7", write it as 62.700;
if your answer is "37.12", write it as 37.120
if your answer is "123", write it as 123.000)
