The elemental symbols used in chemistry are derived from several sources. Some symbols are based on the Latin or Greek names of the elements. For example, the symbol for gold (Au) comes from the Latin word "aurum." Other symbols are derived from the English names of elements, such as the symbol for hydrogen (H). Additionally, some symbols are derived from the discoverer's name or a common property of the element.
In chemistry it is the sign used to represent an element. Examples: H = hydrogen, He = helium, Li = lithium, etc. Superscript numbers give the atomic mass, while subscripts give the number. The subscripts are somewhat superfluous, as H is always 1, He is always 2, U is 92, and so on. There are a variety of scientific symbols. Physics equations use most of the symbols from mathematics. Nuclear physicists use greek letters to symbolize elementary particles like pions, mesons, and so on. Microbiologists use the symbols from chemistry along with others.
H-CH3 : H2-C=O, H3-C-OH, H-COO-H. Organic Chemistry is [no more and no less than] the Chemistry of the Compounds of Carbon.
Chemical symbols are derived from Latin words for the chemicals.
You should look at a periodic table such as this one: http://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/
In some ways, yes. Alchemy was a mix of chemistry, spirituality and magic.

Dalton's symbols are not used in chemistry because it is very difficult to represent in chemistry
The basic elements and symbols in chemistry are :Carbon ---------> CChlorine --------> ClHydrogen ------> HIodine ----------> INitrogen -------> NOxygen ---------> OPhosphorous --> PSulphur ---------> SSilicon ----------> Si
