What are some chemistry symbols with H?
Hydrogen.
Why do some element have unusual letter for their symbols?
some elements do not use their first letters of their English names as their symbols. The symbols for these elements may come from the names of the elements in a different language.
Why do elements don't match their symbol?
the sybols come from latin and german he germans are big into chemistry and they named some of them and the romans were the first to find these elements and they named them in latin and we changed the real name but none of the symbols
Do some elements have several symbols?
yes
Where are the elements symbol derived?
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.
How to prepare for the praxis chemistry content exam?
General Chemistry textbook is a good place to start. Wasn't really heavy on organic chemistry or biochemistry it seemed more a general chemistry exam to me. Make sure you know about elements in the periodic table, things like electron affinity etc. Also, know some basic kinetics, famous people in the history of chemistry.
What are the main topics in chemistry for JEE?
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY Some Basic Concepts In Chemistry States Of Matter Atomic Structure Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Chemical Thermodynamics Solutions Equilibrium Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Chemical Kinetics Surface Chemistry INORGANIC CHEMISTRY Classification Of Elements And Periodicity In Properties General Principles And Process Of Isolation Of Metals Hydrogen S – Block Elements – Alkali And Alkaline Earth Metals P – Block Elements D And F – Block Elements Co-ordinations Compound Environmental Chemistry ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Purification And Characteristics Of Organic Compounds Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry Hydrocarbons Organic Compounds Containing Halogens Organic Compounds Containing Oxygen Organic Compounds Containing Nitrogen Polymers Biomolecules Chemistry In Everyday Life Principles Related To Practical Chemistry
What are some elements that react with mendelevium?
The chemistry of mendelevium is unknown today.
Are alchemical symbols of the occult?
In some ways, yes. Alchemy was a mix of chemistry, spirituality and magic.
Why don't some of the chemical symbols of elements relate to the element themselves?
Actually, they all do relate to the elements. The reason that they may not seem like so is because of Latin, the ones that seem a little awkward, like gold (Au) is because in Latin, gold is called Aurum. Sources: took Chemistry, and AP Chemistry, and am currently in AP Biology, where we have to do this stuff all the time...
Is chemistry physical science?
Yes it is a science. General chemistry provides some basic principles, laws and equations upon which advanced chemistry is structured. General chemistry classes also prove useful in competitive exams.
Why do the symbols for some elements such iron seem to have no relationship to their name?
The symbols of such elements are based on their Latin names. For example, the symbol Fe for iron comes from the Latin ferrum, meaning iron.
