The symbols of such elements are based on their Latin names. For example, the symbol Fe for iron comes from the Latin ferrum, meaning iron.
The symbols of elements are derived from their names in various ways, often using the first letter or first two letters of the element's name, in a standardized manner based on the element's English or Latin name. For example, the symbol for sodium is Na, derived from the Latin name "natrium." You can find the symbols of elements on the periodic table of elements.
It is not possible because we need a differentiation between elements, including different chemical symbols.
The chemical formula Fe2O3 is for the chemical compound known as Iron(III) oxide. Its melting point is 2,851 degrees Fahrenheit.
Most elements have either 1 or 2 letters but some elements such as Ununpentium, have 3 (Uup)
true
The symbols for elements are typically derived from their Latin or Greek names. Sometimes the symbols are based on old names or properties of the element, which may not directly relate to their modern English names. Over time, these symbols have become standardized and widely accepted in the field of chemistry.
Symbols of chemical elements are derived from the chemical name.
Elements don't have formula they have symbols, Symbol for iron is Fe. It is derived from iron's Latin name Ferrum.

symbols of the elements symbols of the elements
No, the chemical symbols for elements are internationally standardized and do not vary with different languages and alphabets. They typically consist of one or two letters derived from the element's name in English or Latin.
Sometimes symbols are derived from the latin or greek name of the elements Sodium Latin: Natrium Symbol: Na
Symbols of elements in science are one or two letters derived from the element's name in English, Latin, or German. These symbols are used in the periodic table to represent each element uniquely and are used in chemical reactions and equations to denote specific elements. Examples include H for hydrogen, O for oxygen, and Fe for iron.
It appears they are the ones who's symbols do not start with the first letter of their English name
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.
Some like iron (fe) take thier symbols from the Latin names
Here is the link to Dalton's Atomic Symbols which was used by early alchemists:See: Related LinksIf you look at it carefully you will see that for elements like Zinc, it was represented earlier by a 'Z', which is now represented by a 'Zn'. Iron was too represented by an 'I', which is now represented by a 'Fe' (after its scientific name Ferrous / Ferric.
