Any element in group 8 and period 3 of the IUPAC periodic table.
It is Kr.
It makes it easier to write out chemical formulas for compounds.
The chemical symbol of helium is He; the chemical symbol of magnesium is Mg.
Atomic symbols are the shortened version of the name of an element, often determined using its Latin name. For example, Calcium is abbreviated to "Ca" and is much easier to write out than Calcium is.
sodiumsodiumsodium!(why do we have to write it more than once?
If you mean how can you write an atomic number with the element's symbol, you write the atomic number as a subscript in front of the element's symbol.Examples4Be, 79Au, 109Mt
Chemical Symbol.
If you think to chemical symbol of an element this is standardized after IUPAC rules.
It is a general tradition to write the symbol of a chemical element with two letters from the name.
Because to write chemical equations you need a short way of referring to an element.
It makes it easier to write out chemical formulas for compounds.
The chemical symbol for the element Silicon is Si. If you wanted to distinguish Silicon 29 from other Silicon isotopes you would write 29Si.
Cl is the symbol for chlorine. Watch out when you write chemical symbols that you correctly use upper and lower case! The superscript minus sign tells you that the chlorine has gained an electron and become a chloride ion, negatively charged.
The chemical symbol of helium is He; the chemical symbol of magnesium is Mg.
Atomic symbols are the shortened version of the name of an element, often determined using its Latin name. For example, Calcium is abbreviated to "Ca" and is much easier to write out than Calcium is.
Pb
There is one atom of that element in the molecule.
This is not an equation but the chemical symbol of the cation: Ba2+.
