What else can I help you with?
What symbols on the periodic table are abbreviations of Latin translated element names. For example Na for sodium because in Latin sodium is natrium?
Yes: natrium (Na), aurum (Au), hydragirum (Hg), ferrum (Fe), stannum (Sn), stibium (Sb), plumbum (Pb), argentum (Ag).
Why do some elements names and symbols don't match?
The element symbol not matching the name occurs when the symbol is derived from that element's name in Latin or Greek from a name for a compound of that element. Sodium- (Na): Natrium Potassium- (K): Kalium Silver- (Ag): Argentum Tin- (Sn): Stannum Antimony- (Sb): Stibium Tungsten- (W): Wolfram Gold- (Au): Aurum Mercury- (Hg): Hydrargyum Lead- (Pb): Plumbum
What is the element tin's symbol?
Sn standing for Stannum, also lead is Pb because of Plumbum
What foreign name of element copper silver iron potassium mercury tungsten lead tin antimony gold and sodium?
cuprum :copper argentum:silver ferrum:iron kalium:potassium hydragyrum:mercury wolfram:tungsten plumbum:lead stannum:tin auron:gold natrium:sodium
Which element cannot be symbol for a chemical element?
Elements with chemical symbols that don't correspond to their English name include: Iron - Fe - From Latin - Ferrus Silver - Ag - From Latin - Argentum Gold - Au - From Latin - Aurum Tin - Sn - From Latin - Stannum Lead - Pb - From Latin - Plumbum Antimony - Sb - From Latin - Stibium Mercury - Hg - From Latin - Hydrargyrum Potassium - K - From Latin - Kalium Sodium - Na - From Latin - Natrium Tungsten - W - From German - Wolfram Copper - Cu - From Latin - Cuprum
Why on the periodic table is tin Sn?
A lot of the elements that have names that seem to have no relation to their chemical symbol are really old elements. This relationship exists because these elements were given names in latin, and the abbreviation sort of stuck Tin(Sn)=Stannum Sodium(Na)=Natrium Potassium(k)=Kalium Iron(Fe)=Ferrum Copper(Cu)=Cuprum Silver(Ag)=Argentum Antimony(Sb)=Stibium Tungsten(W)=Wolfram Gold(Au)=Aurum Mercury(Hg)=Hydrargyrum Lead(Pb)=Plumbum Hope this helped!
What are the elements with foreign names?
