Scientists use them to tell the different elements apart.

There are over 100 elements so it would be confusing to tell them apart without the names.

Scientists can communicate about the elements wherever they are across the globe.

Chemists would not be able to make chemicals and medicines easily if there were no chemical symbols.

Hope this helps.
