WOAH! Wikipaedia? I understood that the essential rules of the NTC Friday Element Quiz was that using such info providers was taboo.
What does this do to the weekly machinations of the TechNet FEQ'ers?
Have Clumpy and Koloumpios been seconded under false pretences?

Thus the atomic weight of tellurium must lie between 123 and 126, and cannot be 128. Here Mendeleev seems to be wrong as the "atomic mass" of tellurium (127.6) remains higher than that of iodine (126.9) as displayed on modern periodic tables, but this is due to the way atomic masses are calculated, based on a weighted average of all of an element's common isotopes, not just the one-to-one proton/neutron-ratio version of the element to which Mendeleev was referring."
