Best Answer

The chemical symbol for argentum is NOT 'ag' , but 'Ag'.

Ag ( Argentum is the Latin for Silver).

NB For all elemental symbols.

#1 A single letter symbol is ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. e.g. 'C' Carbon.

#2 A two letter symbol is written; ffirst letter is a capital letter and the second letter is always lower/small case. eg/ Au( Aurum is Latin for Gold).

NB 'Ar' is the noble gas 'Argon'.
