Compounds do not have symbols. Elements have symbols. Compounds have formulas (Latin formulae) that consist of a number of symbols for elements and ions.

Some examples:

Water - H2O (hydrogen and oxygen)

Hydrochloric acid - HCl (hydrogen and chlorine)

Table salt - NaCl (sodium and chlorine)

Bleach/sodium hypochlorite - NaClO (sodium, chlorine, and oxygen)
