Different languages have their own words for elements, but chemical symbols are international, so they provide a universal way of specifying chemicals. A chemical formula is not specific to any language and will make the same sense in any country. Also, many molecules and formulae involve a large number of different elements, or complex arrangements of the same elements, and symbols provide a way to express them without being too long.
The symbol for magnesium on the periodic table of elements is Mg
An atomic symbol is a 1-, 2-, or 3-letter code that represents an element. If the symbol consists of one letter, like carbon (C), the letter is capitalized. If the symbol consists of two letters, like magnesium (Mg), the first letter is capitalized, but the second letter is not. The 3-letter codes are for elements that have been recently synthesized and have not been given a permanent name, and for elements that have yet to be synthesized, both of which are given temporary systematic names based on their atomic numbers. An example is element 115, with the symbol Uup, which is currently named ununpentium, which means one, one, five. Eventually this element will be given a permanent name with either a 1-letter or 2-letter symbol.
The precious metal with the symbol ''AG'' on the periodic table of elements is silver.
No, "Ro" is not a symbol on the periodic table of elements. Each element has a unique symbol consisting of one or two letters derived from its name.
uranium
Hg is a symbol which stands for mercury.And Au is a symbol which stands for gold.Both are elements.All elements have been given specific symbols to represent them.

The element symbol for boron is B.
The symbol for potassium is K.
The chemical symbol for radium on the periodic table of elements is Ra.
While giving symbols to the elements the first letter of the name of the element was used. But in case of two or more elements with same initial the next elements were given symbols containing first two letters. Since boron has symbol B, so bromine got the symbol Br.
