Carbon is C, Sulphur is S, and Aluminium is Al
No, "aw" is not an element. It is a two-letter combination of the letters "a" and "w," but it does not represent any chemical element on the periodic table.
The chemical symbol of an element is typically derived from its name. It is often the first one or two letters of the element's name. If the element's name has more than two letters, the first letter is capitalized and any subsequent letters are written in lowercase.
The chemical symbol of a chemical element is derived fom the his name: the first letter or the first two letters.
The letter (or letters) represents the abbreviation for that element, i.e. it represents the symbol used to represent that element.
The term for the abbreviation is the "symbol" (aka elemental symbol or atomic symbol) for the element. The letter may not be the actual first two letters, and for some elements it is based on older names (e.g. Au for gold is from the Latin name aurum and Pb for lead from plumbum).
They are the symbols for the elements . Often they are some of the letters of the English name.For example, Si means Silicon. Silver cannot be Si as well. Therefore, we use the Latin translation, Argentium, to create Ag.
The letter in the boxes are symbol of the element. It represents name of the element.
That is called a chemical symbol. It is a shorthand way of representing chemical elements using letters, most commonly derived from the element's name in English, Latin, or another language.
The letters are a one- or two-letter symbol assigned to each element
The first letter is a capital letter; example for sodium: Na.
The first or only letter of an element symbol must be capital; any other letter(s) must be lower case. (So far, there is never more than one other letter in the permanent symbol for any element, but the temporary names of some of the highest atomic weight elements often include two additional letters.)
