I'm guessing you mean the symbol, it's a way you can write equations quicker and so that people from different languages (because elements have different names in different languages) can understand them. For example, Iron is Fe, Potassium is K, Oxygen is O. The first letter is always a capital, then the ones after that are lower case.
it's an element on the Periodic Table; it's just abbreviated here's another example H. bye

The symbol of the element is used as an abbreviation for its name.
The element, 'Oxygen' is abbreviated to 'O'.

Lithium
Elements are abbreviated by one or two letters. Most elements are abbreviated by one letter, but some elements are abbreviated by two letters, typically when the one-letter abbreviation is already taken by another element.
The chemical symbol of an element represents the abbreviated name of this chemical element.Example: the chemical symbol for lead is (Pb) because the Latin language name is plumbum.the symbol Cl represents chlorine in the Periodic Table
yes so does this mean that an element is abbreviated by a one- or two letter formula?
Is the sum of the nucleons (protons and neutrons) in an atom. When abbreviated it is written as subscript at the upper left of the atomic symbol. When not abbreviated it is written after a hyphen following the name of the element. ex: 235U, 14C uranium-235, carbon-14
Both, it depends on the element. Some have two and some have one
The first word (the genus) may be abbreviated.
