How might scientist use the symbols that stand for the elements?

Scientists use the element symbol when writing chemical formulas, equations, and sometimes during everyday writing. i.e. when hydrogen combines with chlorine it creates hydrochloric acid, this written with symbols is H + Cl --> HCl (Hydrochloric acid) It may seem confusing but it is much simpler and faster than writing out the entire name for the chemicals.
