It is not possible because we need a differentiation between elements, including different chemical symbols.

Symbols for elements in dinitrogen oxide?
N2O there are two nitrogens and one oxygen
Of the first 103 elements how many have two letters in their symbols?
Not all elements can be identified by a single letter. For example, Carbon (C) and Chlorine (Cl) both start with a "C" and have "C"'s in their symbols. Another letter had to be added to distinguish the two. Also, the Periodic Table has over 100 elements and there would not be enough letters to cover them all if they were only single letters.
Why do some symbols of some elements have two letters rather than one?
Some chemical elements have two-letter symbols. The first is written as a capital, and the second small (lower case). Examples: gold = Au iron = Fe
Which other elements contain the same number of outer electrons as potassium?
All the elements in the first column of the periodic table have 1 valence electron.They include: lithium (Li), sodium (Na), postassium (K), rubidium (Rb),cesium (Cs), and Francium (Fr).See the Related Questions for more information.
What do elements in the same group or family share?
Elements in the same family are related because of shared properties. For example, all the elements in the noble gas family do not react to anything and are colorless, nonflammable, odorless, and tasteless under normal circumstances.
What element are one or two letter abbeviations for the names of the elements?
All elements that don't currently have IUPAC systematic placeholder names have one or two letter chemical symbols. So, currently, elements 1 (Hydrogen) to 112 (Copernicium) have one or two letter symbols.
What is the same about all of one elements?
They have the same number of protons
What is shales chemical symbol?
It doesn't have one. Shale is a mixture and doesn't always have the same composition. Only elements have chemical symbols
Do scientists use symbols to represent elements?
Because it is more simple to write one or two letters than a word and also these symbols are valid in all languages.
Who discovered the symbols of the elements?
No one discovered the symbols of animals.The symbols of the elements came from their Latin word like the element gold .It`s Latin name is Aurum.So it`s symbol is Au.
How many elements have two letters in their symbol?
99 elements have been identified and named and given 2 letter symbols. 13 elements have 1 letter symbols. Additional elements have been theorized, but not synthesized or named, and have 3 letter symbols. See Wikipedia Periodic Tables, linked.
Symbols for elements in dinitrogen oxide?
N2O there are two nitrogens and one oxygen
What is one one or two letters that identify an element?
The letters that identify elements , are called Symbols.
Where on the periodic table would you find five elements that have very similar properties?
Elements in the same group (column) have the same properties. All the elements in group one have similar properties. All the elements in group two have similar properties. And so on...
What elements have their first two letters as a symbol?
The symbols for elements have either one or two letters. If there are two letters, the first one is capitalized and the second one is not.
What are the chemical symbols on the periodic table?
It's easier to navigate the periodic table and write chemical equations and formulae once you know the symbols for the elements. However, sometimes it's easy to confuse symbols of elements with similar names. Other elements have symbols that don't seem to relate to their names at all! For these elements, the symbol usually refers to an older element name that isn't used any more. Here's an alphabetical list of element symbols with the corresponding element name. Keep in mind that the names for the elements (and their symbols) may be different in languages other than English.
What elements are represented by chemical symbols?
depends on the atom... Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen are all elements. All are gasses in our atmosphere. All are made up of individual atoms. But each element has its own type of atom, with its own unique size, weight (mass) energy states, electrofelicity/phobicity, etc...
