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.
